Summary:
What would you do if you only had 24 hours left with you best friends? This packet on Holy Thursday shows us what Jesus did. He washed the apostles feet, giving them the example of charity and humility. He gave His very Body instituting both the Eucharist and the Priesthood. He also gave the power to forgive sins to the apostles. This was all before going into the Garden, where He shows how to surrender to the will of God. This packet also has a lesson on Judas, the Holy Oils and their meaning and two lessons on a tradition called Tenebrae which begins on Holy Thursday.
