Holy Week – Maundy Thursday

April 20th, 2022 by Aubri

April 14: Blessed Maundy Thursday. “With our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water” (Heb. 10:22), we enter the holy place with Jesus. For Jesus is our Passover Lamb who has been sacrificed for us. He reclines at table with us and feeds us with His own flesh and blood. In Christ, the Lord remembers us in mercy and remembers our sin no more; He forgives us all our iniquity. As He washes us and feeds us in love, let us love one another, just as He has loved us (John 13:34).”

Our traditional Holy Thursday feast. We’ve enjoyed this themed meal for many years now a little bit of joy during this Holy week, our kids always love it. This year I made something new, a Torta Pasqualina or Easter Pie and wow it was good. Sadly I forgot to get a picture of our table and the lovely faces around it but here’s some of our dishes.

April 10: Blessed Palm Sunday. “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross.”

Anyone else like to grab an arm full of palms on your way out of church to take home for Holy Week? After supper tonight there will be our traditional treat, “Palm Sundaes.”

Queen Rose

April 9: Floor time with Rose. This week our physical therapist brought a new type of seat to try so Rose can sit up better to play and keep learning to control her upper body better. She’s getting really good at “sitting.” I mean all hail Queen Rose. Month six is proving to be a big one for her!

Love At First Bite

April 7: Doing Rose a solid! Finally introducing some food to this hungry girl and she loves it. More importantly she swallows it. I’ve been concerned she would have a strong gag reflex or trouble swallowing as I have come across other parents of children with Spina Bifida describe, but she seems to be doing very well with this first meal at least.Â
