The commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, when our Lord established the sacrament of Holy Communion. It also commemorates His institution of the priesthood.
O God, who on this day through your only begotten Son, have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord’s Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light of life.
