Gospel: On #HolyThursday we remember Jesus's washing the disciples' feet (Jn 13:1-15). How different our church would be if this too were a sacrament. What a powerful model of the "servant leader," as well as an invitation to what Sandra Schneiders calls "a community of equals."
“Do you realize what I have done for you?
You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am.
If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.
I have given you a model to follow....

As a child in the Catholic Church, I knew service represented the core of my family's faith. How can we use our gifts to enrich others? How can we make ourselves humble before the tasks of service? How can we bless others via care?
Turns out, this is the EASY part of service.
Turns out, this is the EASY part of service.
It is EASY to serve my students, my friends, and my family by loving them. By showing mercy when mistakes are made. By offering space and by offering closeness. By loving others in ways that work for THEM, not just ways that would work for ME.
Being a servant this way is easy.
