FR. O’ SHEA Reflection for HOLY THURSDAY

Written By Chloe Laursen

Summary:

In this reflection for Holy Thursday, Fr. Jim reflects on the table where Jesus gathered with his disciples in a moment filled with fear and uncertainty. At that table, Jesus offers himself as presence and nourishment, reminding them—and us—that we are never alone. More than that, Jesus shows us that there is always a place for us at God’s table. Fr. Jim invites us to recognize that we are both welcomed and sent—to carry that same spirit of inclusion into the world and to make sure no one feels left out or forgotten.

Show Notes:

Core Theme:
There is a place for everyone at God’s table.

Key Message:
Fr. Jim reflects on how Jesus gathered with his disciples and offered himself as food and presence. Jesus consistently made room for others, especially those who felt excluded. That same invitation continues today.

  • Jesus meets us in moments of fear and uncertainty. 

  • We are always welcomed at God’s table. 

  • The Eucharist reminds us that Jesus is with us. 

  • We are called to extend that same welcome to others.
