Nimirum sancta huius diei Liturgia nos in Cenaculum introducit, grato animo quidem ad audienda verba paratos, quae nobis divinus Magister facies, sollicitudinis plena videlicet erga Episcopos cuiusvis aetatis, post Apostolos ad curam gerendam vocatos Ecclesiae, gregis, vocationis universi populi Dei, verbi nuntiandi, totius temperationis sacramentorum simul ac morum vitae christianae, item vocationum sacerdotalium ac religiosarum atque fraterni spiritus in universa communitate.
On this holy day, the liturgy takes us inside the Upper Room, where, with grateful heart, we set ourselves to listen to the words of the divine Teacher, words full of solicitude for every generation of bishops called, after the apostles, to take upon themselves care for the Church, for the flock, for the vocation of the whole People of God, for the proclamation of God's Word, for the whole sacramental and moral order of Christian living, for priestly and religious vocations, for the fraternal spirit in the community.vatican.va vatican.va
