Scripture
At the Last Supper, Jesus washed the feet of the Apostles. Then he said, “Do you understand... what I have done to you?...If I, then, the Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you must wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example so that you may copy what I have done to you”
— John 13:12-15
Pray Together
Faithful Companion,
in this new year we pray:
to live deeply with purpose,
to live freely, with detachment,
to live wisely, with humility,
to live justly, with compassion,
to live lovingly, with fidelity,
to live mindfully, with awareness,
to live gratefully, with generosity,
to live fully, with enthusiasm.
Help us to hold this vision
and to daily renew it in our hearts,
becoming ever more one with you.
Pray together the Our Father
Closing Prayer
Jesus, you made compassionate service a central part of the lifestyle of Christians. You showed us how to be hospitable, caring, and generous, how to build community. May we follow your example today.
