‘I give you a new commandment,’ says the Lord, ‘that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.’ HYMN CP 305 - https://hymnary.org/media/fetch/136342 I COME with joy, a child of God, forgiven, loved and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me. Collect God, our Father your Son revealed his love by giving us this supper to celebrate the new and eternal sacrifice: may he nourish us by his presence and unity us in his love; who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God, now and for ever. The Gospel according to John 13:1-17,31-35 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+13%3A1-17%2CJohn+13%3A31-35&version=NIV Hymn Brother, sister, let me serve you; let me be as Christ to you; pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too. As Christ stooped to wash their feet The disciples were surprised Peter reprimanded Jesus Had to learn the Saviour’s way. Washing of the Feet Lord, you have declared your will That we should faithfully keep your commandments You have commanded us to love one another As you have loved us In your mercy we ask you to hear our prayer That you most loving Lord stooped to wash the feet of your disciples: Accept this our act of obedience and humble service Wash us clean from all sin And teach us to serve you in the least of our sisters and brothers To the glory of the Father Who live and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit One God, for ever and ever. Amen Prayer in the time COVID-19 AUTHOR OF LIFE HEALER OF THE NATIONS GRANT US COURAGE TO FACE OUR TRIAL WISDOM TO FIND RELIEF FAITH TO LIVE RESPONSIBLY AND GRANT US YOUR SALVATION FOR JESUS CHRIST SAKE AMEN Prayer of Approach Almighty and everlasting God we approach the sacrament of your only begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ; as sick, we come to the physician of Life; as unclean, to the fountain of mercy; as blind, to the light of eternal splendour; as needy, to the Lord of heaven and earth; as naked, to the King of glory. Our Father in heaven Grant, O Lord Jesus Christ, that as the hem of your garment, touched in faith, healed the woman who could not touch your Body, so the soul of your servants in every home in the Parish may be healed by like faith in you, Whom I cannot now sacramentally receive; through your tender mercy, Who lives and reigns with the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost ever one God.--Amen.
