Triduum

Luke 22: 14-20
The Last Supper communicates our communion with Christ and with one another. It is a story of fellowship with an imperfect group of men gathered at table with the Lord. This window portrays the fellowship of Jesus in a more circular motion. This window will communicate that “the Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak” (Pope Francis).
