Exodus
12:1-8, 11-14

Corinthians 11:23-26
John 13:1-15
“Not only my feet, but my hands and
head as well.”
On this, one
of the holiest days of the Church year we see Jesus on his knees wiping away
dirt, washing the feet of his followers.
This is truly what it means to be like Christ. He said so himself. For all those who ask the perennial question,
“What would Jesus do?” Here is your
answer. “I have given you a model to
follow,” he tells his disciples, “so that as I have done for you, you should
also do.”
And so
confronted with the challenge of this gospel reading, it’s worth asking
ourselves: what have we done? How
many feet have we washed? How have we tried to imitate Christ?
