Holy (Maundy) Thursday

Gracious God,

your Annointed One, on the night before he suffered,

instituted the sacrament of his body and blood.

Mercifully grant that we may recieve it thankfully

in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord,

who in these holy mysteries

gives us a pledge of eternal life.

Amen.
