On that first Holy Thursday, the Lord instituted the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood, and established an example of service by washing the disciples' feet. Of the three things, the Eucharist is the source from which the other two flow: the priesthood is based on the Eucharist, and the highest example of loving service is found in Christ's crucifixion, which is sacramentally made present in the Holy Eucharist.
Our Lord made it clear, by word and example, that true greatness and love are found in service to others. Let us draw strength from frequent and worthy reception of the Eucharist, so we can lay down our lives for God and others, as our Lord did for us.
