Back to EpisodesHomily | April 2, 2026 | Holy Thursday And The Love That Gets Close (Episode 75)
Description
We step into the upper room and face a love that refuses to stay polite or distant. We wrestle with what it means to let Jesus wash what we hide and to receive the Eucharist as a real, personal gift that demands a real response.
• imagining Holy Thursday as present reality, not reenactment
• Jesus washing the feet of sinners and betrayers
• our instinct to keep Jesus at a safe distance
• “Unless I wash you” as the doorway to inheritance
• the Eucharist as Real Presence, not metaphor
• the tragedy of routine and distraction at Mass
• shifting from “what did I get” to “what will I give”
• becoming what we receive through service, forgiveness, and courage
When you leave this church, will you finally say, Lord, if you are willing to kneel and wash my feet, then I will go and kneel and wash others.
