“This is my body,” Jesus said as he took the bread. “This is my blood,” he said as he took the cup. “Do this in remembrance of me.”
Maundy Thursday is “a time of sharing with others, showing loving concern for one another, and partaking of Holy Communion. That is what the Lord asked of his disciples and asks of us.”
