By Peter Kwasniewski, Catholic Exchange - Each year, as Maundy Thursday comes around, the Catholic Church celebrates three mysteries tightly bound together: the institution of the Holy Eucharist, the institution of the Christian priesthood, and the great commandment of charity. They are bound together for many reasons, but this one above all: God is asking us to love in a way that is impossible to our unaided human nature. The Word became flesh, the Word became Victim, the Word became food.
