He who made the lakes, the springs, and the seas,
shows us the greatest humility:
He girds Himself with a linen towel
and washes the feet of His disciplese;
in His infinite mercy, He lowers Himself,
and He draws us up from the abyss of evil,
for He alone is the Lover of All.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit!

In Your mercy, You humbled Yourself
and washed the feet of Your disciples,
thus preparing them to walk in the divine footsteps.
Peter at first refused to be washed,
but then obeyed Your divine command;
and while You were washing Him, O Lord,
he earnestly begged You to grant us Your great mercy.

Both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen!

In the course of the supper You revealed to Your disciples, O Lord,
the mystery of Your holy oblation which delivers us from death;
and we venerate Your sacred Passion.
