Gospel: Mark 14:12-16, 22-26 Jesus sent two of his disciples to prepare the Passover supper. During the meal he blessed bread and offered it to them saying, “This is my body.” He then offered them wine and called it his blood, “the blood of the covenant, to be poured out on behalf of many.” “He sent two of his disciples and said to them: ‘Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. Follow him. Wherever he enters say to the master of the house, ‘The teacher says, ‘Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples.‛… ‘Make the preparations for us there.‛” On this solemn feast, on which we as Catholics are reminded of the special and real Presence of Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist, Mark helps us set the scene. Those close to the Lord are sent to make sure all is ready. One man will lead them to another, whose task it was to have the site ready to receive Christ and celebrate the last supper. I am one of the two called to make preparation to receive the Lord again in my life. I am reminded how special it is. The Eucharist is a gift, the center of our faith. Like the centurion I repeat the words ‘Lord I am not worthy…‛ but I should add, ‘make me worthy of so great a gift.
Help me to devoutly prepare well for the reception of your gift for me. Make my faith strong to say I believe in your presence in this sacrament, and welcome to my heart.‛
Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus I also say “Stay with us for it is almost evening… And He does!
