Collect for Maundy Thursday: Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Darice shared this beautiful footwashing video, http://vimeo.com/22214941, as background to the practice of footwashing during the 'Spiritual Formation in Ministry' Social Justice Tradition Presentation (Evangelical Theological Seminary, Myerstown, PA). Thank-you Darice! 

I encourage you to take a few minutes as you celebrate Maundy Thursday to enjoy the Word of God [beginning with Luke 22:24-26, followed by John 13:3-17 (Jesus' washing of the disciples feet), Matthew 20:26-28, Matthew 25:40, Mark 10:45] and the paintings depicting footwashing in background to the Scriptures shared.  May be a helpful resource for your local congregation/ministry (part/all) as you practice footwashing and/or consider the Last Supper.
