GIFT OF THE LORD'S SUPPER
In fact, it is in responding to Jesus' command to serve, that we imitate His humility and willingly attend to all who are in need. This shows the true, loving Presence of Christ - becoming a servant to each other.

This is a very special night for us as a Catholic, Christian family. We receive the Gift of the Lord's Supper, the Memorial of Christ Jesus' abiding and True Presence, and we respond to His instruction: "Do this in memory of Me." There is another memorial for us as well, the amazing Image of Jesus as He strips Himself down to the garments of a servant and bends His knees to wash the feet of His disciples.
In our churches this evening, it will be the priest who bathes the feet of others to show the sign of being a servant. But, in addition, you too, as parents, are called to spiritually wash the feet of your children. Children are also called upon to wash their parents' feet. In fact, it is in responding to Jesus' command to serve, that we imitate His humility and willingly attend to all who are in need. This shows the true, loving Presence of Christ - becoming a servant to each other.
Let us love one another as Jesus Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us. A great thing to be in life is a foot-washer!
