Day 38

Maundy Thursday April 6

Jesus, my feet are dirty. Come even as a slave to me, pour water into your bowl, come and wash my feet. In asking such a thing I know I am overbold, but I dread what was threatened when you said to me, “If I do not wash your feet I have no fellowship with you.” Wash my feet then, because I long for your companionship.

Jesus of Nazareth, This cross was a torture. It only gives life because you made it hollow. Bring life to us, Jesus, especially when we are in the places of the dead. Because you brought life even to the instruments of death.

Amen

Easter is the celebration of God’s ability to change our tears into joy, our darkness into hope, and even death into life eternal. On the first Easter, we see the very real transformation that is made when we see the risen Lord. Join us as we celebrate the joyful change the God desires for us all.
