Although Easter has passed, I wanted to write about my favorite Mass of the year in Guatemala.
It is the Holy Thursday Mass. It is outdoors at 5pm in the square of
the Church with at least a thousand people present. During the Mass, one
can see majestic Volcan San Pedro and the sky changing colors as the
sun sets.
Each
year the priest has had the same message. Holy Thursday is the
commemoration of Christ giving us three gifts… his love for us, the
Eucharist, and the priesthood. Each year I’ve thought that was a simple,
true summary of what we celebrate on Holy Thursday.
