Today is Maundy Thursday, the beginning of the Triduum – a Three Day liturgy that spans Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. On Maundy Thursday we remember Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. We remember how he washed the disciple’s feet and his command to love one another (John 13:31-35). 

Over the past weeks, these Lenten Devotionals have challenged all of us with the many needs and struggles in this world. Whether it is the homeless, child soldiers, those suffering from mental illness, or personal struggles with greed, addiction, and doubt, I hope that these devotions have helped to open your hearts to the needs of others. 

Jesus commanded us to love one another because he knew that love is the only force strong enough to combat all the brokenness in this world. 

Verse for Meditation: 1 Peter 4:8

Action: Look back over all the different needs that these Lenten devotionals have highlighted and challenge yourself to find new ways to reach out with love to these people and situations.
