The thirteen chapter in the Gospel of John unfolds the whole of Jesus' message. This is the story of the washing of the disciples' feet. Jesus shows us what He does and wants us to follow His example. He puts aside any claim to glory and humbles Himself to become a slave and washes His disciples dirty feet and our dirty feet to make us clean. The slave's washing of feet was done to make a person acceptable enough to sit at table. We all can sit down for the Eucharistic meal. We are washed through the grace of penance, and the grace of love.
