In the Last Supper Jesus Christ exhibits His love, and proves Himself to be our best Friend. The account of it begins: "having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end". This was the farewell banquet on the last evening of His earthly life; in it He delivered His Testament, His final word of love, and bequeathed us a keepsake and eternal memorial of Himself.
Venerate this mystery of mysteries. In it you really partake in that solemn supper and in the sacrifice that Jesus offered on Calvary.
