The Last Supper

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:26 ESV)

 Tonight, Christians around the world are celebrating the Lord’s Supper and the Lord’s Passion. Hundreds of millions of professing Christians around the globe—be they Catholic, Protestant, or nondenominational—are celebrating the last day of Christ’s life here on Earth before His mortal death, as well as the Last Supper.
 Millions of Christians who understand the message of Christ and His death are choosing this week and this night to commemorate this event.
 So we thank You for Your sacrifice, Lord, Your blood shed for the remission of our sins, the New Testament in Your blood which was shed for us on that tree that we are commemorating this night—Your suffering, Your love, that You died for us in our place.
 You took our punishment for us. Instead of us dying for our sins, You died for them, Lord. And we now attest and testify and witness our faith in You and Your death for us and Your sacrifice of Your blood for our salvation to wash away our sins. —DBB [1]

 Jesus, while dining with his apostles, was about to make the greatest gesture of love that a man can make for God and his brothers and sisters: he accepted the terrible death on the cross so as not to betray his love for God and his brothers and sisters. —Don Bosco
