Maundy Thursday marks the beginning of the holiest three days of Holy Week. The word "maundy" comes from the Latin "mandatum," from the "new commandment" that Jesus gave to his disciples after washing their feet: "Love one another as I have loved you."
Using “A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church: Year W” by Reverend Wil Gafney, PhD, this series invites you to listen to the Bible lectionary passages for the week. We hope that this time offers a new opportunity for you to notice what themes you see the Divine illuminating throughout the arc of the Old and New Testaments. What do these ancient words bring up for you? What could they build within you?
These are the Scriptures for Maundy Thursday: Exodus 15:11-21; Psalm 136:1-16; Hebrews 11:23-28; and Matthew 26:17-56.
