Holy Thursday 2021: Eucharist, Priesthood, and the Agony

Today's Liturgy of Holy Thursday inaugurates the sacred Pascal Triduum and itself marks three specific moments of Jesus's ministry: His institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper; his command to the Twelve to "do this in memory" of Him, by which He establishes the New Covenant priesthood; and His Agony in the Garden, in which He allows the weight of the sins of the world -- including mine and yours -- to press down upon Him. Mystery of mysteries! Let us do tonight as He commands: To wait, watch, and pray.
