Love's Two Languages: Bread and Basin | Holy Thursday | April 17, 2025

Tonight we witness two profound expressions of the same divine love: Christ who kneels to wash feet and Christ who gives himself as food. Neither gesture is complete without the other.

Through this reflection, you'll discover:
* How the Passover context illuminates Christ's gift of the Eucharist as his true Body and Blood
* Why foot-washing was so shocking in first-century Palestine and what it reveals about authentic love
* The essential connection between receiving Christ in Communion and becoming Christ for others
* How these twin mysteries call us to both worship and service in our own lives

Readings covered: Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14; Psalm 116:12-13, 15-18; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; John 13:1-15
