Partaking in the Lord’s Mystical Supper
Update: 2024-05-10
Description
In this homily on Holy Thursday, the Very Rev. Dr Bogdan Bucur invites us to consider the establishment of the Holy Eucharist as a sacrament and God’s core invitation to us to partake in His life. Fr Bogdan draws on the many Scripture readings of Holy Week to emphasize both the characters who heeded God’s invitation to Himself (e.g. the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet, the prophet Job) and the many ways in which the Lord has invited us to draw near to Him throughout the Scriptures (e.g. the Hebrew people’s Exodus into the wilderness, Moses’ encounter with God on Mt Sinai). Fr Bogdan also urges us to consider our own similarities to the scriptural characters who rejected God’s invitation to Himself, especially Judas and the Jews who murmured against God in the desert. Through honest self-evaluation and repentance, we can accept the Lord’s invitation and truly draw near and partake in Life.
