Love of God (4)
  1. On Maundy Thursday, Christ explicitly gave his disciples the new command from which the day takes its name, for the Latin words novum mandatum are the Vulgate’s translation of “new command.”
  2. Sometimes the old story is the one we need to hear again and again.
  3. The love of God is creative, always giving, always reviving.
  4. In that moment of greatest despair, we find the antidote for all our fears. We know we are beloved of God and there is salvation in Christ’s atoning death.
