Psalms For Holy Thursday

On Holy Thursday the evening Mass is, first of all, the memorial of the institution of the Eucharist. The Mass of the Lord's Supper is also the memorial of the institution of the priesthood, by which Christ's mission and sacrifice are perpetuated in the world. The Mass on Holy Thursday is also a memorial of that love by which the Lord loved us "even to death". This is dramatically manifested through the foot washing which follows the Liturgy of the Word.
