You sent your Son into the world,
and before his hour had come,
he washed his disciples’ feet.
You had given all things into his hands.

‘Come and follow me’
That’s what you ask us to do.
To lay down the things that won’t last,
that can’t save,
that don’t really matter.

A tiny mustard seed
grows into a big tree.
Minute grains of yeast
work through and quicken the dough.

Fast from judging others;
Feast on Christ dwelling in them.
Fast from fear of illness;
Feast on the healing power of God.
Fast from words that pollute;
Feast on speech that purifies.
