Maundy Thursday (Traditional)
On Maundy Thursday, we pass through the gate of the Triduum—the three holy days that stand at the center of the Christian year.
Here, at the table of the Last Supper, Jesus reveals the kind of God we encounter in the days to come: a God who serves, who stoops, and who loves even His enemies.
Peter will deny Him.
The disciples will fall asleep.
Judas will betray Him.
And still—Jesus washes their feet.
This sermon reflects on the startling truth at the heart of Maundy Thursday: that Christ not only feeds and serves those who fail Him, but commands us to do the same. Drawing on the witness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we are invited to see that obedience and belief are inseparable—that we come to know Christ more deeply as we begin to love as He loves.
As we enter the Triduum, this night shapes everything that follows:
the Cross on Good Friday,
the silence of Holy Saturday,
and the joy of the Resurrection.
