There’s an article on the internet about the Queen attending Maundy Thursday service to give little money bags to 93 pensioners… Catholics celebrate today in 2 solemn ceremonies. One is Chrism Mass where the priests repeat their vows and oils will be blessed for the sick and dying, those being confirmed and entering the church, and for the anointing of priests and churches and altars. The oils are blessed in the Cathedral and distributed to parish churches. I think I wrote about this in reference to Notre Dame that is not available for worship. I suppose another church will be appointed Cathedral (the seat of the Bishop). Later in the early evening, churches will celebrate the Mass of the Last Supper and the Institution of the Eucharist. I will watch on TV as I don’t want to be in the church in crowds just yet with some coughing still going on in my healing chest! These are Holy Days for the Christian Church as we remember the death and Resurrection of Jesus. God bless us all with peace of heart. Have a Holy Thursday.
