The Holy Eucharist: Christ’s Love “Unto the End” (Holy Thursday Sermon)

About this sermon

On Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday), we enter into one of the most profound mysteries of the Catholic faith: the love of Christ “unto the end.” In this powerful sermon, we reflect on the Gospel of St. John and the meaning of Christ’s final acts before His Passion — the washing of the feet, the institution of the Holy Eucharist, and the establishment of the priesthood. What does it mean that Jesus loved His Apostles “unto the end”? This homily explores the deeper meaning of telos — not merely an ending, but the perfection and fulfillment of love. We are invited to understand: The humility of Christ in washing the feet of His Apostles The connection between the Eucharist and sacrificial love Why confession is necessary before receiving Holy Communion The Eucharist as the living memorial of Christ’s Passion and Death The eternal nature of divine love (Agape) This is not just theology — it is a call to deeper reverence, adoration, and love for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Let us respond to Christ’s infinite love with our whole hearts. 🙏 Please consider supporting pro-life causes through real estate: 👉 https://realestateforlife.org 00:00 – Support Pro-Life Real Estate Mission 00:22 – Introduction & Holy Thursday Significance 00:47 – “He Loved Them Unto the End” Explained 01:38 – The Meaning of Telos (Perfect Love) 02:44 – The Hour of Christ’s Passion 03:18 – Washing of the Feet: The New Commandment 04:17 – Peter’s Resistance & Humility of Christ 05:24 – Purification and Preparation for the Eucharist 06:07 – Institution of the Holy Eucharist 06:43 – Institution of the Priesthood 07:25 – Prayer for Priests 07:53 – The Eucharist as Perfect Love 08:30 – Confession and Worthy Reception 09:10 – The Eucharist as Sacrifice 09:48 – Agape vs. Human Love 10:38 – God is Love in the Eucharist 11:02 – The True Meaning of the Mass 12:12 – Passion, Death, and Resurrection 13:09 – Eternal Love and the Eucharist 14:00 – Holy Communion and Eternal Life 14:34 – Adoration and Reparation 15:08 – Repairing Sins Against the Eucharist 15:49 – Becoming True Disciples 16:11 – The Gift of Eternal Love For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
