It's Holy Thursday! We celebrate the Lord's Supper today Thursday, March 28th, 2024, two amazing Sacraments "Holy Thursday of the Lord's Supper - Christ Instituted the Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Holy Orders." We beseech You, Lord Christ Jesus on this day of the Holy Thursday, to let Your most Holy Body and Blood bestow upon us true love and service for You and true love and service for all our fellow human beings as You intend us to become. Christ, We devotedly give our lives to the most precious Body and Blood of Yours. We need more grace to follow Your word and actions: "If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” Holy Lord, May we comprehend the essence of being servants, true servants, and may we exhibit this humility in our deeds. Emulate Your sympathy and love.

For our brothers who have taken the vocation of the Holy Orders: A Priest works God one who works on behalf of Christ a Priest is a man who leaves himself for the sake of others for the sample of God's children for he is not himself, he is a reflection of Christ and he does the work of Christ for us administering every sacrament to us. 

A Priest is not just a Priest, a Priest is a Priest at all times. He must strive to be an embodiment of the Crucified Lord, he should be a selfless Priest, he should be a loving Priest, he should be a merciful Priest, and he should be a compassionate Priest. One who cares for the Lord's flock and one who emulates the Holy Life of Christ Jesus. Holy Orders must be kept to the end once you have received and no backtracking for Christ whom you stand for when you celebrate the Pascal mysteries at the Holy Altar never wavered to the trials and temptations of satan. He remains a Holy and High Priest.

We pray for all the Priests in the world, and we pray that they remain steadfast and faithful in their vocation.
