P. Our God the Messiah, the only true and perfect Love,
who because of Your love for humanity,
came down from heaven to dwell on earth,
who in Your person revealed
the right path to perfection and humility,
who by Your eternal power brought everything into existence,
and by Your Word, restored Your creation,
and who is the giver of life and holiness,
when You partook of the feast
in that upper room with the disciples,
in order to teach them by example, a lesson in humility,
You rose from the meal, tied a towel around Your waist,
took water in a vessel and washed their feet.
Lord, teach us also to serve each other
in this manner,
with mutual love and genuine humility.
Wash our souls from all the defilement of sin.
Remove from us all bitterness, anger, jealousy,
temper, stubbornness, divisiveness, deceitful talk
and all evil deeds.
O Lord, while rejoicing in the joy of Your festival
and being satisfied by the fruits of Your Gospel,
we offer praise and thanksgiving to You,
the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and forever more.

Nicene Creed
P. We believe in the one true God, the Father Almighty;
C. Maker of heaven and earth
and of all things
visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father
before all worlds; Light of light, very God of very God;
begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made;
who, for us and for our salvation,
came down from heaven and was incarnate
by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made Man;
He was crucified also for us in the days of Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and died and was buried;
on the third day He rose again by His own holy will,
ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father;
He shall come again with glory,
to judge both the living and the dead;
and of His Kingdom, there will be no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life;
who proceeds from the Father;
who with the Father and Son
together is worshipped and glorified;
who spoke by the prophets and the apostles;
and we believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins and look forward
to the resurrection of the dead
and the new life of the world to come. Amen.
D. Bless us O Lord. Let us stand reverently.
C. Lord, have mercy.
