Our Lord tells us that we have to serve each other as he served the world. From St. Paul's letter we can understand how integral to the religion given to us by Jesus is the Mass. It is the sacrament created for us by Father, Son and Holy Spirit even before the death and resurrection that it is. This last meal of Jesus before the Passion is not any ordinary meal as he enjoyed with sinners in Galilee but the first Mass of ordination whereby the twelve were ordained into the new priesthood to replace the Temple that would soon be reduced to rubble.

Dear Lord, we need the Holy Spirit more than ever before as your created new priesthood crumbles into the dust, Let all priests who say this Mass both in cathedrals and churches be renewed by their presence with you at this memorial and let their service be a true reflection of the life you lived for the salvation of all men. Dear Lord save thy people who are truly the lost sheep looking for a shepherd. Maranatha.
