world, he loved them to the end. The devil had alreadyput it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot tobetray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing thatthe Father had given all things into his hands, and thathe had come from God and was going to God, got upfrom the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towelaround himself. Then he poured water into a basinand began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe themwith the towel that was tied around him. He came toSimon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you goingto wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You do not knownow what I am doing, but later you will understand.”Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesusanswered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share withme.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet onlybut also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him,“One who has bathed does not need to wash, exceptfor the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean,though not all of you.”suyos que estaban en el mundo, y así los amó hasta elfin. El diablo ya había metido en el corazón de Judas,hijo de Simón Iscariote, la idea de traicionar a Jesús.Jesús sabía que había venido de Dios, que iba a volvera Dios y que el Padre le había dado toda autoridad; asíque, mientras estaban cenando, se levantó de la mesa,se quitó la capa y se ató una toalla a la cintura. Luegoechó agua en una palangana y se puso a lavar los piesde los discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla que llevabaa la cintura. Cuando iba a lavarle los pies a SimónPedro, éste le dijo: «Señor, ¿tú me vas a lavar los piesa mí?» Jesús le contestó: «Ahora no entiendes lo queestoy haciendo, pero después lo entenderás.» Pedrole dijo: «¡Jamás permitiré que me laves los pies!»Respondió Jesús: «Si no te los lavo, no podrás ser delos míos.» Simón Pedro le dijo: «¡Entonces, Señor, nome laves solamente los pies, sino también las manos yla cabeza!» Pero Jesús le contestó: «El que está reciénbañado no necesita lavarse más que los pies, porqueestá todo limpio. Y ustedes están limpios, aunque notodos.»For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason hesaid, “Not all of you are clean.” After he had washedtheir feet, had put on his robe, and had returned tothe table, he said to them, “Do you know what I havedone to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and youare right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord andTeacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to washone another’s feet. For I have set you an example, thatyou also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, Itell you, servants are not greater than their master, norare messengers greater than the one who sent them. Ifyou know these things, you are blessed if you do them.Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God hasbeen glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him,God will also glorify him in himself and will glorifyhim at once. Little children, I am with you only a littlelonger. You will look for me; and as I said to the peopleso now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannotcome.’ I give you a new commandment, that you loveone another. Just as I have loved you, you also shouldlove one another. By this everyone will know that youare my disciples, if you have love for one another.”Dijo: «No están limpios todos», porque sabía quién loiba a traicionar. Después de lavarles los pies, Jesús volvióa ponerse la capa, se sentó otra vez a la mesa y les dijo:«¿Entienden ustedes lo que les he hecho? Ustedes mellaman Maestro y Señor, y tienen razón, porque lo soy.Pues si yo, el Maestro y Señor, les he lavado a ustedeslos pies, también ustedes deben lavarse los pies unosa otros. Yo les he dado un ejemplo, para que ustedeshagan lo mismo que yo les he hecho. Les aseguro queningún servidor es más que su señor, y que ningúnenviado es más que el que lo envía. Si entienden estascosas y las ponen en práctica, serán dichosos. Ahorase muestra la gloria del Hijo del hombre, y la gloria deDios se muestra en él. Y si el Hijo del hombre muestrala gloria de Dios, también Dios mostrará la gloria de él;y lo hará pronto. Hijitos míos, ya no estaré con ustedesmucho tiempo. Ustedes me buscarán, pero lo mismoque les dije a los judíos les digo ahora a ustedes: Nopodrán ir a donde yo voy. Les doy este mandamientonuevo: Que se amen los unos a los otros. Así como yolos amo a ustedes, así deben amarse ustedes los unos alos otros. Si se aman los unos a los otros, todo el mundose dará cuenta de que son discípulos míos.»The Gospel of the Lord.Praise to you, Lord Christ.El Evangelio del Señor.Te alabamos, Cristo Señor.8

The HomilyThe Reverend Canon Jan Naylor CopeThe homily directly follows the Gospel because it is to be grounded in the scriptures. It illuminates the scriptural readings and relates themto daily life.The Commitment to ServanthoodThe washing of feet is a central part of the Maundy Thursday liturgy. Given current public health concerns, the commitment toservanthood takes the place of the foot-washing and calls us to the spirit of humility embodied in that act.The Lord Jesus, after he had supped with his disciples and had washed their feet, said to them, “Do you know what I,your Lord and Master, have done to you? I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done.”hymn 577God is loveUbi caritas (Murray)The cantor sings the refrain, then all repeat.The cantor sings the verses, all sing the refrain.Here in Christ we gather, love of Christ our calling.Christ, our love, is with us, gladness be his greeting.Let us fear and love him, holy God eternal.Loving him, let each love Christ in one another.All repeat refrain.When we Christians gather, members of one Body,Let there be in us no discord but one spirit.Banished now be anger, strife and every quarrel.Christ, our God, be always present here among us.All repeat refrain.Grant us love’s fulfillment, joy with all the blessed,When we see your face, O Savior, in its glory.Shine on us, O purest Light of all creation,Be our bliss while endless ages sing your praises.All repeat refrain.(James Quinn, 1919-2010, alt.)9

The Great ThanksgivingIn the Great Thanksgiving, we do what Jesus himself asked us to do: thank God and recall all that God has done for us in the life, death,and resurrection of Christ. We begin with the Sursum corda, meaning “Lift up your hearts.”The Lord be with you.And also with you.Lift up your hearts.We lift them to the Lord.Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give God thanks and praise.It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every where to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator ofheaven and earth.Through Jesus Christ our Lord. For our sins he was lifted high upon the cross, that he might draw the whole world tohimself; and, by his suffering and death, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who put their trust in him.Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:sanctus & benedictusSung by all.Grayson Warren Brown (b. 1948)The Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy) is the hymn of praise that never ceases before God and is based on Isaiah 6:3.Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and becomesubject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature,to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for thewhole world.11

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had giventhanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Dothis for the remembrance of me.”After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all ofyou: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Wheneveryou drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:Christ has died.Christ is risen.Christ will come again.We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling hisdeath, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drinkof new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve youin unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit allhonor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.the lord’s prayerWe pray together the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to pray. The link between our daily bread and the spiritual food we receive inthe Eucharist is an ancient connection.Notre Père , Padre nuestro , Vater unser Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy Name,thy kingdom come,thy will be done,on earth as it is in heaven
