Holy Week, the Eucharist, and the Sacramental Principle

Today is Holy Thursday. This evening the Triduum begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. I have to secretly confess that I often find myself more excited about tonight’s celebration than I do about Easter. Don’t get me wrong… Easter is the highpoint. It is the feast of feasts. But, for reasons you will hear later, I often experience Holy Thursday in a more real, intimate, and personal way than I do Easter. But, that’s a secret, so don’t tell anybody.

Sarah Reinhard joins us today to talk about her experience of Holy Thursday. And we also discuss her new book, Catholic Family Fun: A Guide for the Adventurous, Overwhelmed, Creative or Clueless.

In this episode I also share with you a Holy Thursday interview with Dr. Brant Pitre that I first recorded in 2009.

All this and more right here at the Catholic Foodie… Where food meets faith!
