Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Jesus and institution of the sacrament of the priesthood. The last Super of the Jesus is the example of love of God. Through Eucharist, God completely loves us. Priest is the mediator between God and us. Priest is selected by the God. To love God we need the priest to mediate and he is the gift of God to us.

The lives of the faithful, their praise, their suffering, their prayers, their work, are united to those of Christ. In as much as it is a sacrifice, the Eucharist is likewise offered for all the faithful, living and dead, in reparation for the sins of all and to obtain spiritual and temporal benefits from God.
