On Holy Thursday, 2020, a couple of my friends and I were able to see Jesus for the first time since Covid began. One of the priests in our area exposed the Eucharist for Holy Thursday in the local parish center. Unfortunately, we were not allowed inside for adoration due to social distancing, so we had to adore in the open air. Luckily, it only rained a little! Jesus was reposed in a window in the parish center while we knelt outside in a parking lot, thankful for the opportunity to adore the Lord for the first time in months.
Interesting reflection for Holy Thursday. I hadn't considered Jesus protecting Judas at the Last Supper before, but it's reasonable. (Of course! Isn't Aquinas always!)
What an interesting insight, ringing very true to life. St Peter is so flawed, so human and yet so loveable. It's an encouragement to rhe rest of us that as he could be purified, so can we.
We also have this on Maundy Thursday too, just out:

Great insight! Thomas is great at pointing out the things that are hiding in plain sight.
Yes, maybe Peter would have confronted Judas at the Last Supper but definitely not later as he knew then his own weakness in his denial of Christ.
Yes! I love seeing how God transforms Peter from a somewhat brash and prideful man into a great Saint. It always gives me hope!

I would like to know who was the young man who ran away naked from the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus was betrayed by Judas. Thanks
Ooo good question! I’ll have to do some research myself to figure out what Thomas says about that!
