Maundy Thursday
The Gospel reading appointed for Maundy Thursday is John’s account of the last Supper, when he records that Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and gave to his disciples a new commandment (Mandatum) that they may love one another. This evening, although we cannot share in the Eucharist together, we also pray for those who are called to imitate Christ’s loving service: for some, such as healthcare workers, that may involve caring for the sick or offering practical assistance to those who are self-isolating, for others, it may mean social distancing. The Revd Dr Will Lamb will offer a reflection on this story as we are drawn into the Easter mystery. Maundy Thursday makes the beginning of the Triduum, the great three days, when we are drawn into the heart of the Christian faith.
