John 13:14-15
« If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. »
MEDITATION:
After having shown the disciples what he would do to them of the glory in which he would enter, the Lord returns to the table with them and urge them to fulfill this service to each other.
He said: « If I, your lord and master, I have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, so that, you should do as I have done to you. »
If we have the same life as the Lord, and if we are animated by the same love to him, we have to wear a mutual interest in which the model is in him.
More concretely, we must seek to bring back our brothers, soiled by any negligence, so that they should renew the fellowship lost between us.
And to get there, we will use the Word of God to produce in our brothers and sisters guilty, the conviction of their sin and bring them to confess it to God.
If it is an offence personal, they will confess also to those to whom, they will have offenced.
Then the restoration can take place by the Word which, after having shown the horror of evil, to see that, on the side of God, nothing has changed; his love is always the same; it touches the heart and produces true repentance and a full restoration.
Everything is not only washed, but wiped, as the Lord did with the towel with which he was girded; there remains no trace of defilement.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us the courage and strength to imitate your son, Jesus Christ.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
