Holy Thursday

Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper:  The Washing of Feet

Have a foot washing ceremony with your family. Gather a pitcher of water, a bowl, and a towel. Light a candle and read John 13:1-15. Have one family member wash the feet of the others by pouring water over their feet and drying with a towel. Reflect on the humility of our Lord Jesus, as he washed the feet of his disciples. 

You may enjoy listening to the Pange Lingua Gloriosi during the foot washing here.

The Pange Lingua Gloriosi was written by St. Thomas Aquinas in the 13th  century and is sung at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. You can find the lyrics in English and more information here.
