Standing Together in Prayer - Holy Thursday

“Christianity is above all a gift:  God gives himself to us – He does not give something but Himself. He continually remains the One who gives.   He always offers us His gifts anew.   He always precedes us.   For this reason, the central action of being Christians is the Eucharist:  gratitude for having been gratified, the joy for the new life that He gives us” (His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI).
