Reflection
Leader:
Let’s spend a quiet moment thinking about what it means to wash each others’ feet.
Leader now explains that family members will be able to take turns washing the hands (or feet) of each other.
First, the family will bless the water.
Blessing of the Water
Leader:
Family, this water reminds us that Jesus asks us to be servants to each other, to be “doers” for others. Let us ask God to bless it.
Family members extend their hands in blessing over the water.
Leader:
Creator God, your gift of water brings life and freshness to the earth. It cleans us when we are dirty, it refreshes us and brings us renewed energy. Renew in us the living spring of your life. May this water remind us that you washed the feet of your disciples and you ask us to wash the feet of each other. You call us to help and to serve each other.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
All: Amen.
Washing
Each person washes the hands or feet of the person standing to the right.
Continue until all family members have washed and been washed.
Recite the following prayer together during each washing or say it at the beginning and then play this song while the washing is being done.
If you are by yourself, place your feet in the basin a pour the water on your feet.
Soak your feet as you listen to the song.
Prayer during the washing:
Lord Jesus, who challenges us to be servants to each other,
bless us so that we may care for each other.
Bless us so that we may love each other.
Amen.
Closing Prayer
Leader:
Loving God, teach us to love one another as you love us. Teach us to reach out to each other and to those around us who are in need and to bring them your love. Bless this family as we pray through these holiest of days, remembering the suffering and death of Jesus, your Son, and celebrating with you the promise of resurrection—life forever with your son, Jesus.

for a special intention—
~Who needs to know the great love of God today?
~Who is in pain who needs our prayers?
~Who is suffering?
~Who needs to be renewed?
Keep these prayers in mind throughout the day.

Listen to the Word
The first and second readings in the liturgy for Good Friday describe the mystery of the cross: suffering turned into victory. The Gospel is the Passion of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. The word passion can also mean strong feelings of love. Jesus’ passion is the time from the Last Supper to Jesus’ death on the cross, during which he shows his great love for us.

Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
And born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy catholic Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And life everlasting.
Amen.

Personal Reflection
Today we have entered into the utter loneliness of Jesus, into his pain and suffering, and his death on the cross. Jesus’ passion is part of the deep mystery of our faith—the mystery of redemption. As a family, reflect on your experience of Good Friday this year. Reflect on the passion and death of Jesus. Use these questions to guide your reflection:

As a family, reflect on your experience of Good Friday this year. Reflect on the passion and death of Jesus. Use these questions to guide your reflection:
- Have there been times in our lives when we sat with Jesus and felt the utter loneliness of the Garden of Gethsemane?
- How have we worn the shoes of Peter, Judas, Pilate? Have we ever walked the way of Jesus?
- How have we helped Jesus carry his cross?
- What does the cross mean in our lives?
- In what ways does the passion of Jesus challenge our family to respond?
- What new understanding do we have about the suffering and death of Jesus? How do we share in this mystery?
- What would we say to Mary at the foot of the cross?
- Jesus promised eternal life to one of the men crucified next to him. What does these words of Jesus teach us about redemption?
