On this special Holy Thursday episode of Catholic Answers Live, Cy Kellett sits down with apologist Joe Heschmeyer to explore the profound meaning of the Last Supper. Why did Jesus institute the Eucharist and the priesthood on this night? How does the Gospel of John’s account—focused on the washing of the feet—fit with the synoptic Gospels’ focus on the bread and wine?
Joe connects the dots between the Passover sacrifice, Christ’s role as the Paschal Lamb, and the liturgical richness of the early Church. You’ll also learn why Holy Thursday marks the beginning of the Church’s most sacred three-day liturgy—and how Catholics today are called to enter into this mystery.
📖 Topics Covered:
• Why the Last Supper is the First Mass
• John’s unique perspective on Holy Thursday
• The institution of the Eucharist and priesthood
• How Old Testament sacrifices prefigure the Mass
• Why the Church strips the altar and processes in silence
