As I usually do on Holy Thursday, I made my way to seven churches this evening.
My night started off with an unusual twist. Father Anselm from Corpus Christi asked me if I wanted to be part of the symbolic apostle group that is part of the Holy Thursday mass. What this entails is sitting up on the altar as a priest washes your feet as the way Jesus did at the last supper. How could I not accept a request like this?
I am a very spiritual person. Witnessing the ceremony from the pews is moving enough, but to actually be part of it was something that I can only describe as deeply religous. Plainly said, it was a profound experience.
If you have never been to Corpus Christi for a mass, I suggest that you do find a way to go. The Pauline Fathers who took control of Corpus Christi a few years ago are equally traditionalists and in touch with the world around them.
