Maundy Thursday

 

The word "Maundy" is abbreviated of the Latin word mandatum. 

This word is found in John 13:34 where Jesus says: 

A new command I give you: 

Love one another. 

As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

-John 13:34

Be kind and compassionate to one another,

 forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

-Ephesians 4:32

As they were eating, Jesus took a small loaf of bread and blessed it and broke it apart and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take it and eat it, for this is my body.”

 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks for it and gave it to them and said, “Each one drink from it,  for this is my blood, sealing the new covenant. It is poured out to forgive the sins of multitudes. 

-Matthew 26:26-30
