Intention of the Day
For a deep sense of God’s unconditional love.
For all Marists connected to Marist 180.
For a deep sense of God’s unconditional love.
For all Marists connected to Marist 180.
Today's Gospel Holy Thursday.
If I, then, the Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you must wash each other's feet.
Breaking Open The Word
Here, Jesus is taking the place of a person at the bottom, the last place, the place of a slave.
For a deep sense of God’s unconditional love.
For all Marists connected to Marist 180.
Marist Source
Our true identity is a gift, given in the form of an unfolding invitation, a call, a vocation.
For a deep sense of God’s unconditional love.
For all Marists connected to Marist 180.
To Ponder
'Wash each other's feet'- the flipside of suppers, the simple, vulnerable presence, human with human.
Where has the Spirit drawn you in today's prayer?
Closing Prayer
All Loving God
Cultivate in us a spirituality that flows out of Marian simplicity, humility and modesty.
Release in us wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement for your work in which we share.
Help us set our gaze on those people and places most in need of Christlife,
Impel us to respond together,
And lead us to be in communion with one another, and with you.
Like Mary, we listen for your invitation,
Like Mary, we set out joyfully and in haste to the hill country of the lives of young people,
Like Mary, we build communities in ways that are Christ-centred.
All Loving God, come and live in our hearts.
Amen
