Evening: Psalms 142, 143; John 17:1-11
On Maundy Thursday, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and gave them a new practice, a holy meal in the breaking of bread and sharing of wine. Maundy Thursday takes its name from the Latin ‘mandatum’ (command), referring to Jesus’s new commandment ... ‘love one another’. Humility was perhaps Jesus’s most powerful expression of love, shown when he washed his disciples’ feet. Humility thinks and speaks well of others. Humility regards others as equal companions - ‘companions’ are those you break bread with on the human journey. So, love one another and break bread together. This we can do.
