Maundy Thursday - Saccidananda
The Maundy Thursday celebrated at Saccidananda, Capuchin Provincialate at Rajajinagar - Bangalore. The Holy Eucharistic Mass was offered by Rev. Fr. Joseph Dolphy Pais, Provincial of Capuchins of Holy Trinity Province – Karnataka along with Fr. Andrew Anil Sequeira, Fr. Robin Victor D’souza & Fr. Deepak Fernandes. The celebrant in his homily said, quoting the words of Pope John Paul II.

“Before this extraordinary reality we find ourselves amazed and overwhelmed, so deep is the humility by which God “stoops” in order to unite himself with man! If we feel moved before the Christmas crib, when we contemplate the Incarnation of the Word, what must we feel before the altar where, by the poor hands of the priest, Christ makes his Sacrifice present in time? We can only fall to our knees and silently adore this supreme mystery of faith”.

The Celebrant representing Jesus washed the feet of twelve faithful as an act an ultimate act of love and service.
