Maundy, Maundy
They had a loving supper
We know, because Jesus said to
Love each other
Many will have the same in remembrance
This night
Jews have a special supper sometimes near
This time
The importance of meals
As a bachelor, sometimes I don’t appreciate
The value
Of the family with friends or guests
Sharing food and drink
The nourishment from company
And if it’s too much, well, it’s always over
More things will happen later on
Jesus will be arrested,
Sent to trial and to torture
Those who ate with him will scatter
Except the women and two men,
One of them who’s steadfast,
The other man who at the fire says
He never knew the one
Taken away
So the greater hope is in the women
Watch what follows in the next few days
Let’s have this meal
Because and regardless of tradition
It’s important
That we dine together

that last line rings true, brother. it is a timeless truth and is specially something a lot of hearts ache for during this current time.

Yes, I guess we’re missing togetherness at meals these days. We’re attempting to have it differently, creatively. But the ease at which we gather at the table will be a delight–once we have it back!
