After the Lord had risen from supper,he poured water into a basinand began to wash the feet of his disciples:he left them this example.

The Lord Jesus, after eating supper with his disciples,washed their feet and said to them:Do you know what I, your Lord and Master, have done for you?I have given you an example, that you should do likewise.

Lord, are you to wash my feet? Jesus said to him in answer:If I do not wash your feet, you will have no share with me.

So he came to Simon Peter and Peter said to him:Lord, are you to wash my feet? Jesus said to him in answer:If I do not wash your feet, you will have no share with me.What I am doing, you do not know now,but later you will come to know.

If I, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet,how much more should you wash each other’s feet?This is how all will know that you are my disciples:if you have love for one another.

Let faith, hope and charity, these three, remain among you,but the greatest of these is charity.Now faith, hope and charity, these three, remain;but the greatest of these is charity.

guidelines for the reception of holy communion

For CatholicsAs Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

For Our Fellow ChristiansWe welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ’s prayer for us “that they may all be one” (John 17:21).

Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 § 4). Members of the Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 § 3). For Non-ChristiansWe also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family.

For Those Not Receiving Holy CommunionAll who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.

P rayer after C ommunion

Following the Prayer after Communion, the celebrant will kneel before the altar and incense the Blessed Sacrament in the ciborium. The celebrant will then receive the humeral veil, take up the ciborium, and process to the Altar of Saint Joseph, where the Blessed Sacrament will remain in repose the rest of Holy Thursday. The faithful are encouraged to join in the solemn procession to the Altar of Repose, while the Pange Lingua is sung.

10

Anima Christi, sanctifica me.Corpus Christi, salva me.Sanguis Christi, inebria me.Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.Passio Christi, conforta me.O bone Iesu, exaudi me.Intra tua vulnera absconde me,ne permittas a te me separari.Ab hoste maligno defende me.In hora mortis meae voca me.Et iube me venire ad te, ut cum sanctis tuis laudem teper infinita saecula saeculorum.Amen.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.Body of Christ, save me.Blood of Christ, inebriate me.Water from the side of Christ, wash me.Passion of Christ, strengthen me.O good Jesus, hear me.Within Thy wounds, hide me,separated from Thee let me never be.From the malignant enemy, defend me.At the hour of death, call me.To come to Thee, bid me,that I may praise Thee in the companyof Thy Saints, for all eternity.Amen.

Anima ChristiMarco Frisina (b.1954)
