Hear the ancient Passover instructions from Exodus that foreshadow Jesus's sacrifice on Holy Thursday.

The episode begins with Father Carlos Yepes introducing the Holy Thursday celebration. He reads the Old Testament passage from Exodus 12 detailing the instructions for the Passover lamb, linking it to Christ's sacrifice. A Psalm and a reading from 1 Corinthians about the Last Supper follow. The Gospel reading from John 13 describes Jesus washing the disciples' feet. Father Yepes explains that this day commemorates the great commandment of love, the sacrament of Holy Orders, and the institution of the Eucharist. He emphasizes that loving one another is the true distinctive of a Christian, surpassing all external practices. The reflection describes God's love as gratuitous, humble, faithful, eternal, merciful, and powerful. Father Yepes then discusses the priesthood, calling it the love of Jesus's heart and defending priests despite their human fragility. He notes priests are often criticized like airplanes that only make news when they crash. The episode extensively explores the Eucharist, presenting it as the memorial of Christ's sacrifice, a spiritual offering, Christ's real presence, spiritual food, a source of church communion, a call to mission, and the soul of the world. Father Yepes cites Mother Teresa's 'I thirst' and references John chapter 6. He argues that a world without the Eucharist is a humanity in crisis, plagued by war and selfishness. The reflection concludes with a blessing for Holy Thursday and the start of the Easter Triduum.
