Thursday Morning

Precious and Holy Lord,
On this day, so many years ago, you gathered with your friends, sitting down for one final meal before an unimagineable ordeal began. On this day, I sat down to eat, with little awareness of your suffering, little awe for your sacrifice. I was focused on myself.
Forgive me.
Forgive my selfish and thankless ways. Forgive my wanderings and imperfections. Forgive my faults and weaknesses.
Remind me of your glory. Prod me with your Spirit so that I recognize your grace, fall to my knees in awe and wonder of your majesty, and live, filled with gratitude, a life that proclaims the wonder of your self-giving love.
Thank you.
Amen.
