Lord, we have been deaf to your call to serve you, as you have served us. We confess to you, Lord.

Lord, you were humble enough to wash the feet of your disciples, giving us an example to serve; and when you asked Simon Peter three times if he loved you, and each time he said yes, you said, feed my sheep. All of us who claim to love Jesus must be willing to serve, and we could begin by feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, looking after the sick, visiting those in prisons, and being kind to strangers.
