REFLECTION Knowing that his life on earth was drawing to a close, Jesus gathered his closest friends to celebrate the Jewish Passover ritual meal, their final table fellowship as a small community. He knows that this will be his last opportunity to share through word and example the gift that will be offered. This gift is an unexpected surprise, the endless gift of his own self in the form of bread and wine. As Jesus is about to leave this earth in human form his followers are mandated to gather and share a simple memorial meal in his memory, thereby continuing to experience his presence in a unique way.
