Padre Pio Lenten Reflection: Holy Thursday

"For most of us, the image we most associate with Holy Thursday is the one painted by Leonardo da Vinci of Christ and his disciples breaking bread on the evening before Jesus was betrayed and turned over to be put to death. At some point, all of us have taken part in large meals, either with friends or family. From them we receive not only physical nourishment, but also the spiritual nourishment that comes from being together. That combination of community and sustenance is what we find when we receive Holy Communion."

Franciscan Media is offering a special Lenten series of meditations, "Lent with Padre Pio." The mediation for the Holy Thursday is as follows:
