In the addresses throughout the week, with the help of music by Dieterich Buxtehude, Membra Jesu Nostri, we will reflect upon the Body of Christ. We shall together think about the feet, knees and hands of Jesus on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Maundy Thursday as we celebrate the Institution of the Eucharist, we shall explore what it means to receive Christ’s Body and Blood. On Good Friday our focus will be on the broken heart of Jesus and on Easter Day as we proclaim that Christ is Risen, we will ask ourselves what it means to come face to face with Jesus in our daily lives.
