Novi et Aeterni Testamenti: A Maundy Thursday Reflection

Today is Maundy Thursday, the day on which Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ instituted the Holy Priesthood and the Eucharist at the Last Supper for our sanctification and salvation. Although Our Lord would enter deep into His Passion immediately after the completion of the Last Supper as He suffered His Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, He wonderfully gave us the Holy Priesthood of the New Dispensation as He instituted the New and Eternal Covenant that He would ratify by the shedding of every single drop of His Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross tomorrow, Good Friday. We must express our gratitude to Him at all times for giving us the Priesthood so that we can have access on a daily basis to His own Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in Holy Communion, made present for us on altars of Sacrifice by true bishops and true priests in this time of apostasy and betrayal

This is a day to keep watch with Our Lord in His Real Presence at the Altar of Repose, remembering most importantly to beg Our Lady to make more and more voluntary sacrifices to make reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of her Divine Son through her own Immaculate Heart for our sins and those of the whole world.

As work on part two of Jorge’s Just Naturally a Naturalist will take longer than anticipated, all thought of completing it until Easter Monday or Easter Tuesday has been shelved. Although Jorge Mario Bergoglio will once offend the honor and glory and majesty of the Most Blessed Trinity this evening by washing the feet of handicapped patients, including those of “other religions,” and will lead a Judeo-Masonic exercise in naturalism at Colosseo on the evening of Good Friday, all substantive commentary will be reserved until after Easter Sunday.

As is the case with today’s posting, therefore, older and/or revised reflections on the events of the Paschal Triduum will be posted each day.

Let us pray for each other as we mourn for our sins and give thanks the love and mercy shown to us by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who undertook His fearful Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross to make it possible for us to save our immortal souls as members of His Holy Catholic Church.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
