this is a day late, but I wrote it last night... here are my reflections from thursday's readings (John 12-13)...
I focused on Jesus washing the disciples feet (John 13: 1-17)
I reflected on Jesus' humility and how he took the lowly position to serve his disciples although he was their teacher. How would I react to such an action? I think I would feel a bit uncomfortable at first but be amazed at His example of humbly serving others. Peter's reaction was funny...that he wanted Jesus to go the extra mile and wash more than his feet...but Jesus made it clear that he would stick to the feet, the most neglected and most used part of the body.
so how can I "wash the feet" of others these days?
well, at home, since I still live with my folks...to carry out chores better, be more responsible! Practical things I can be more mindful of are washing dishes, cleaning around the house, preparing dinner once in a while, and spending quality time with my parents
at work...I seem to see my coworkers more than my family cause it's 40 hours a week, but I don't know much about them...so to open up our lives to each other...maybe have moments to share the gospel, God willing. To be interested in their lives and listen/care for them rather than just focusing on my work of checking boxes and boxes of medication.
