THE GOSPEL
John 13: 1-15
I have washed your feet, you ought to wash
one another’s feet.
|
Jesus
tied a towel about his waist,
and began to wash
the disciples’
feet.
Teacher, help us
learn
that the Infinite, all-powerful God,
who is inexhaustible love,
remains at heart,
a servant
of all.
Let
us not
ignore or just
tolerate our neighbors.
Like you, let us wash their feet
and give them their food and drink.

READING
Exodus 12: 1-8, 11-14
But the blood will mark the houses where
you are. Seeing the blood, I will pass over
you; thus, when I strike the land of Egypt,
no destructive blow will com upon you.

Jesus,
goal of all things
we are your pilgrim Church.
Fill our hearts with the fire of your love.
Show us the way. Keep us on the pilgrim path to
you.
The Word was made flesh
and dwelt among us—
not excluding
death.
He still dwells with us,
not excluding
death.
He is bread, wine, food drink,
flesh and blood,
at every
Mass.
The Word was made flesh
in every way but sin,
and dwells
among
us.
