Prayer for Holy Thursday

Dear Lord,

As we gather on this Holy Thursday to remember the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, we are reminded of the depth of your love for us.

 We give thanks for the gift of the Eucharist, through which we are united with Jesus and with one another in a sacred bond of love and communion.

We pray that as we receive the body and blood of Christ, we may be transformed by his love and his grace. 

May the Eucharist be a source of strength and nourishment for our souls, and may it inspire us to live lives of service and sacrifice for others.

On this Holy Thursday, we also remember the example that Jesus set for us in washing the feet of his disciples. 

Help us to imitate his humility and his selflessness, and to be willing to serve others in whatever way we can.

We pray for all those who are hungry or in need, that they may be fed and cared for. 

We pray for all those who are suffering, that they may find comfort and healing in your loving embrace.

May this Holy Thursday be a time of deepening our faith and our commitment to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, as we strive to live lives of love and service to others.

We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Amen.
