Thursday is here!

The tension of the week intensifies as Jesus prepares for a special meal with his friends. He will take them by surprise when he begins to wash their feet (demonstrating that servanthood is the path, not one that seeks power). He will tell them that the bread they share is his broken body and the wine they drink is his blood (bizzare perhaps at first thought). He will be betrayed by one of his close friends, his friends will fall asleep as he asks them to support him while he prays for a different course of action (and accepts that there isn't one). His friends will run away and deny knowing him as he is arrested and faces a false trial (which brings us to the early hours of the day we call GOOD Friday!)...
