The washing of the feet represents the service and charity of Christ who came “not to be served, but to serve.” In the homily Bishop Rhoades said, “At the Last Supper, after taking off his outer garments, Jesus did what slaves did: he washed dirty feet. An incredibly humble action! By His Incarnation and His death on the cross, the Son of God humbled Himself. He loves us to the end. He washes our dirty feet by cleansing us in the purifying waters of Baptism and in the sacra- ment sometimes called the ‘second Baptism,’ the sacrament of Penance.”
