What are you making for Maundy / Holy Thursday dinner?

Friends,
Tonight, the most important meal in history was served. On this night, in the Upper Room, Jesus gathered his friends. It was on the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, the Jewish holiday of Passover that celebrated God preserving the first born in Jewish households during the Egyptian bondage.
St. Matthew describes it this way:
No other meal has had more importance and has been celebrated more often. It is la creme de la creme. It is the meal of ultimate gravity and grace, my favorite meal of the year, and one for which I spiritually prepare for 40 days. Yesterday, I broke my quarantine to get lamb and other goods. I will give updates throughout the day with pictures later tonight. I would love to hear your stories about your Passover or Eucharistic meals.
Faith, Hope, and Love,

Tonight, the most important meal in history was served. On this night, in the Upper Room, Jesus gathered his friends. It was on the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, the Jewish holiday of Passover that celebrated God preserving the first born in Jewish households during the Egyptian bondage.
St. Matthew describes it this way:
quote:
When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?” Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said so.”
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Friends,
I am cobbling together a liturgy for tonight. I suggest we start our dinner at 7 so that darkness will have fallen by the dinner’s conclusion. Here’s what I have so far:
Opening prayer:
Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may thankfully receive the same in remembrance of him who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of life eternal, the same your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
A Reading from Exodus. 12.1-4, 11-14
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to take a lamb for each family, a lamb for each household. If a household is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it. This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the LORD. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
Psalm 51, set to Allegri’s Miserere mei, Deus: LINK
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.
Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.
May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.

A reading of the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark:
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”
They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”
“It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
FOOT WASHING:
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John:
It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

The Lord’s Prayer
Say together: The Fraction Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast.
Share the Supper the Lord shared with his friends.:
Roast lamb: represents the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world
(a traditional Seder will not include consuming the lamb, but Jesus invites us to eat, so we will partake)
Saltwater, Bitter Herbs, and Charoset: represents the tears of the slaves in Egypt, the struggle of slavery, and the mortar Jews used to build the pyramids.
Matzah/Unleavened bread: We remember how the Israelites quickly left Egypt and did not have time to allow their bread to rise. We also remember Jesus, the bread of life who was born in Bethlehem, the house of bread, shared unleavened bread with his disciples at the Last Supper as well as bread with the thousands with seven loaves and fish.
Fruit of the vine: We remember Jesus sharing the cup of the covenant with his friends that night we celebrate tonight. We also remember that the first plague of Exodus was God turning the water of the Nile into blood. Jesus transforms plague into blessing, and at the wedding at Cana turns water into wine.
Prayer of dismissal:
Almighty God, may we dwell in your perfect love, a love willing to be betrayed, a love given into the hands of sinners, a love that suffered death upon a cross for us.

Friends,
It is time for our service and dinner to begin. I have made plenty for all of you to join me. I was unable to find matzah, and am quite saddened by that, so will have to substitute leavened crackers.
Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Thank you for joining and sharing in this special meal with me, my dearest friends.
Faith, Hope, and Love,

Friend,
Isn’t the 51st psalm more appropriate for Ash Wednesday in the Anglican tradition?

Miserere mei, Deus
Gregorio Allegri composed this beautiful hymn in 1638. Its scriptural inspiration is Psalm 51: Have mercy on me, O God. Legend has it that the hymn could only be sung once a year, on Maundy Thursday, tonight, and only in the Sistine Chapel. Mozart, however, at the age of 14, heard it in 1770 and memorized it. He wrote it down and had it published, and the music, which some have called "the most beautiful piece of music ever written" spread throughout the world. If you have never heard it sung in a large church or cathedral with good acoustics and singers, you have truly missed one of the most glorious pleasures and treasures in human history.
There isn’t a more appropriate psalm or song for this somber night, my good friend.
