John 13:12-17
12 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Prayer for the Day
Lord of Mercy and Grace, conform us to the image of Your Son, who though He is our Lord and master chose to sacrifice Himself that we might be saved. May we too sacrificially love those whom you put in our paths, for Jesus' sake we pray. Amen.
