A Maundy Thursday Collect

Suffering servant, who humbled yourself and took on the nature of a servant, grant us humility and freedom of heart as you had, that we would be willing to give up the status and titles the world so treasures in order to love one another well, through you who with the Father and Holy Spirit live in endless joy in heaven. Amen.

‘After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had reclined again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.”‘ – John 13:12-14
