Maundy Thursday
The name 'Maundy' is derived from the command or mandatum by Christ at the Last Supper, to love one another:
'And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.' John 15:12

HOLY THURSDAY
Jn. 13:1-18:27 deals with the words and deeds of Jesus on the evening of Holy Thursday, including the washing of feet of the disciples and the Last Supper discourse and priestly prayer of our Lord, Jesus arrest in the Garden of Gethsemani and Peter's denial. Prayerfully read as much of this as you can--these are some of the most powerful and moving chapters in the entire Bible, perfect to read during Holy Week.
