Gospel Reading:
A Reading from the Gospel of Luke
Luke 22:14-23:56
When the hour came,
Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.
And he said to them,
“I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said,
“Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again
from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying,
“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table.
The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!”
They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

Reflection:
The theme for Project Compassion this year is –
Help Changes Lives Today! Throughout Lent, we will be raising money to donate to Project Compassion. This will support families in need, and to build a future for generations to come.
Each classroom will have a Project Compassion Box where children can donate money.
This Thursday will be the last day for selling zooper doopers to raise money for Project Compassion. Zooper Doopers will be on sale at the start second break for $1.00 each.
Have you got any 5c or 10c coins laying around the house, or in the car? A great way to get rid of all these coins would be to donate them to Project Compassion!!
