Christ has arrived to Jerusalem, is received as the savior, but his arrest and trial are already being planned by those who do not want him. As a last wish of a prisoner before being executed, Jesus schedules one of the most celebrated and remembered moments of the Christian life, the last supper.

All are seated at the table, those who have walked with him over the years; those who know him and have lived his teachings one by one. But there are also seated at that table, and Christ knows it, someone who was going to betray Him for a few silver coins, another who was going to deny Him three times and another who was not going to believe until he saw the miracle. Even so, Jesus celebrated the last supper.

He did not run away because his friends would betray him, he stayed to fulfill and do what he had to do.

How many times do we run away from our responsibilities because we fear mockery, shame or betrayal? Christ did not run away even knowing what he was going to suffer, and he did it out of love.

"....And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. In like manner, when he had supped, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table" S. Luke 22:17-21.

Christ left us a great celebration to remember and celebrate that everything He did, He did out of love. He gave His body and blood, to the last drop, for us, out of His great love, perfect love.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" S. John 3:16.

Our salvation, the forgiveness of our sins is given by grace, and grace is given by faith; faith that everything, absolutely everything is done with and for love.

Enjoy the banquet, Christ himself, his flesh and blood. Honor this immense gift every day by imitating Jesus, loving, loving, loving, loving, until your life is surrendered.

God bless you!
