Holy Thursday in Randwick

Today we celebrated the Lord’s Supper with the parish community at Sacred Heart Church in Randwick, the suburb in which we live. One of the things that I cherish the most about this powerful liturgy is the way in which we hear Jesus call to service in the context of the First Eucharist, his Last Supper. He makes it very clear that we who follow him are to lead by our service of each other and the community around us. We had a fine celebration, but my heart was lonely for the familiar faces and friends who make up the fine fabric of my community in Fairport.
