We have reached Great and Holy Thursday. Today we complete our experience of preparation for the most important festival of the Church’s year. Some of us have fasted and abstained a great deal. Others have fasted and abstained little.

Imagine this: you’re in your house and the phone rings. You go to answer it, but as you do, all you hear is static on the line. Something’s wrong with the phone, and it keeps ringing. So you frantically try to find another phone in the house before the person hangs up. So you go to the bedroom to get the portable. Now it’s the fourth ring and you rush over to the phone, and just as you reach for it, it’s gone. Someone took the phone off the hook and didn’t put it back. Now it’s the fifth ring, so you run to the other side of the house and find the phone. “Hello!” But just as you answer, you hear…
