| The Last Supper - Produced by Jesus Mafa. |
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
John 13:34
Maundy- from the Latin 'mandatum'. If we were a modern commercial business, this would be the issue we would be 'performance managed' on. 'Love one another'.
The last meal together is communion. It is physical, mental and spiritual. It is a precious moment in time. It is a coming together that we will look back on and wonder at. It something that cannot be contrived. It just happens, and we notice that it has with wonder.
Jesus Mafa was the creation of François Vidil, a French catholic priest in the 1970's who lived with the Mafa, or Mafahay people of Cameroon. He had the gospel stories converted into pictures, much as medieval cathedrals were decorated to speak to their congregations. This work has now spread round the world.
PRAYER: As we meet to share our lives together, we obey your commandment, to love one another.
