18 April
Maundy Thursday
The Father readily reveals himself to the lowly! (Gaudete et exsultate 170).
John 13:1-15
`Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.’
What was Mary Magdalene? A sinner, even a public sinner, a prostitute? What did she become? It is strange how our Lord spent time with such people. He was even blamed for doing so. What was his answer? Not the healthy, but the sick need a doctor. We can apply those words to ourselves. We are all sinners. (7 April 1958 – JK)
