it’s definitely a shocker! *gasp* all this while i thought i created the name mellomouse. i did a google search a few minutes ago – out of curiousity – and found others who also uses this exact pseudonym *cry buckets* how could it be?!? ok ok, so i am not that original after all *shrugs*

today is holy thursday – the day Jesus and His twelve disciples had the last supper, the washing of feet, the breaking of bread and the Betrayal. the mass tonight and tomorrow will be longer than the usual, as the congregation – here and around the world – recapture the account of the entire episode.

“If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” John 13:14-15

what was on Jesus’ mind this night two thousand years ago? the Bible says He felt fear. “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

although Jesus is divine, He is nothing less of a human. He feels what we feel: hunger, sadness, fear, love, pain, happiness etc. He was everything that we are, but more. His trust in God and love for us gave Him strength to fulfill the promise of salvation. “He gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the Lord shall be accomplished through him.” Isaiah 53:10

this sunday we will once again celebrate His victory over death, but most of all: God’s love for us. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” John 3:16

a blessed Easter to everyone. peace be with you!
