Holy Week: Maundy Thursday: Jesus washes the disciples feet
On Thursday of Holy Week Christians remember 'The Last Supper' - the last meal Jesus shared with his friends before his arrest. One of the things that Jesus did during that supper, according to John 13: 1 - 11 was to take the role of a slave and wash his disciples' feet. Joan Bidwell wrote a beautiful poem reflecting on this event: SUPPER BEING ENDED In the quiet place at close of day he washes the feet of my mind from the dust of its feet. His infinite eyes see the staining and wounds of the road, his hands bring smarting and cleansing and balm. The grace of his health restores my soul her place in the circling stars of perpetual praise. Then, taking again the seamless robe, the Alpha-Omega, Master and Lord, we talk together, friend with friend. Poem by Joan A.
