Blessings this Maundy Thursday. Today is the day we remember that we are called to be servants. Watch a youtube video: The Servant Song" http://youtu.be/k-Pk2NHKg_o
The English word Maundy in that name for the day is derived through Middle English and Old French mandé, from the ...Latin mandatum, the first word of the phrase "Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos" ("A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you"), the statement by Jesus in the Gospel of John 13:34 by which Jesus explained to the Apostles the significance of his action of washing their feet. The phrase is used as the antiphon sung during the "Mandatum" ceremony of the washing of the feet, which may be held during Mass or at another time as a separate event, during which a priest (or at Emmanuel someone we love) ceremonially washes the feet of others.
