Holy Gospel, prayer of March 29

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to John 13,1: 15-XNUMX.
Before the feast of Easter, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father, after having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end.
While they were having dinner, when the devil had already put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray him,
Jesus knowing that the Father had given everything to him and that he had come from God and returned to God,
he got up from the table, put down his clothes and, having taken a towel, put it around his waist.
Then he poured water into the basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel he had girded on.
So he came to Simon Peter and he said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
Jesus replied: "What I do, you do not understand now, but you will understand later".
Simon Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus said to him, "If I do not wash you, you will have no part with me."
Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not only your feet, but also your hands and your head!"
Jesus added: «Whoever has bathed needs only to wash his feet and it is all the world; and you are clean, but not all. "
In fact, he knew who betrayed him; therefore he said, "Not all of you are clean."
So when he had washed their feet and got their clothes, he sat down again and said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?"
You call me Master and Lord and say well, because I am.
So if I, the Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, you too must wash one another's feet.
In fact, I have given you an example, because as I did, you too ».
