Maundy Thursday – Baptizing Feet

Mother Rebecca reflects on Jesus washing his disciples’ feet, revealing themes of humility, servant leadership, and sacrificial love. The act symbolizes preparation for mission, foreshadows the cross and resurrection, and calls believers to love one another. Symbolically, the disciples feet are “baptized”  by Jesus into a new vocation—carrying the message of Christ into the world. We are invited to embody this same calling to love through action, continuing Jesus’ example in our own lives.

Today's Readings: Exodus 12:1-4, 11-14 | 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 | John 13:1-17, 31b-35
