Lessons from Bridegroom Matins of Great and Holy Thursday

The Master shows the disciples an example of humility;
He who wraps the vault of heaven in clouds
girds Himself with a towel;
He who holds in His hands the breath of all that exists
kneels down to wash the feet of His servants.

He knows that this is His last supper before agony and death. Yet He is not irritable and withdrawn as I am over my small aches and pains. He humbles Himself by washing the feet of those who are about to run away from Him and deny Him and betray Him.
