Prayers for Holy Thursday

Holy Week leads to . Each day before that marks an important moment of the Passion of Christ: Holy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus with the Apostles. During Mass, we take the Holy Communion in remembrance of Jesus breaking bread and sharing wine with His disciples. We renew our communion with the Lord at every Mass, during the Sacrament of the Eucharist. It is a symbol of charity and brotherhood.
