Prayer for Maundy Thursday
(inspired by John
13:1-17)
Merciful
Savior,
We
have traveled this long, dusty Lenten journey.
Our
feet are tired, dirty, aching, and calloused.
You
have shown us Your love
by
becoming a humble servant.
Humble
us when we try to travel without You.
As
Christ has washed us,
so
let us wash one another.
Humble
us when we believe some work is below us.
As
Christ has washed us,
so
let us wash one another.
Humble
us when we are too proud
to
accept help, or care, or love.
As
Christ has washed us,
so
let us wash one another.
Humble
us when we do not fully receive
the
gift of Your amazing and bountiful grace.
As
Christ has washed us,
so
let us wash one another. Amen.
