Maundy Thursday
Today is Maundy Thursday -- In the gospel traditions it is the time in which Jesus shared his final Passover with his Disciples. It is fitting that Today marks Passover (though it began last evening and by the time we share in our acts of remembrance the Jewish community will have moved into the 2nd day of Passover Week). We will gather this evening around the Table of the Lord. We will share the story of Jesus' final supper, of his betrayal, and his final hours in the garden of Gethsemane. We will then move out into the night knowing that tomorrow we will share in the memory of his death on the cross. It is a day of communion!
Earlier today I shared in the funeral of Maude Bornand. Maude was a favorite of mine when I served FCC, Santa Barbara. She died at age 95, still on the go. She spoke her mind, but she never forgot you. I treasure the memories of our friendship. It is fitting that Maude was the means of my sharing for the first time in the life of that former congregation of mine. That Maude was an instrument of healing is not surprising. So, Maude, I want to say: Thank you!
