Holy Thursday  
Image of Jesus washing the disciples feet. 
 
“Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.”
 
Let us Pray: Our Father in heaven, we thank you for the depths of your love revealed in Christ Jesus. Help us to grasp that there is a place in your Kingdom for every sinner, for your love is expansive enough to cover our worst and your mercy strong enough to renew our worst into your likeness. May we, like Jesus, take the posture of a servant, serving one another with humility, forgiveness, and courage. Empower us by your Spirit to reflect your love in action, to forgive as we have been forgiven, and to pursue justice and mercy with gentleness. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
