(One will be a mule all year long.)”
“It is the tradition among Christians in Africa on Maundy Thursday that, before the sacrament of Holy Communion is served, worshipers move⟳ about the sanctuary and seek⟳ forgiveness from everyone they have⟳ hurt⟳ or offended or sinned against — known or unknown — in recent months.”
