In this powerful Maundy Thursday sermon, we explore the radical contrast between violence in our world and the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. Following a campus shooting at Florida State, Fr. John reflects on how Jesus responded to betrayal not with violence but by washing his disciples' feet—even the ones who would soon deny him, and abandon him, and betray him—demonstrating God's relentless love. The sermon draws profound connections between the Jewish Passover and Christ's transformation of this ancient tradition, revealing how Jesus—our ultimate Passover Lamb—invites us to remember Him and experience freedom from sin and death through His sacrifice.
