WE ARE TO BE A PEOPLE OF THE TOWEL AND WASH BASIN
"The law of love demands that we become people of the towel and water, that like Christ we wash the feet of our neighbor. This simply means that we wash the feet of one another when we implement the gospel. That and that alone is the true revolution that will change the face of the earth. It is late in the day. What does it means to be a Christian? It means to revolutionize the world the way Christ wanted it to be revolutionized. When shall we begin?"
(from THE GOSPEL WITHOUT COMPROMISE by Catherine de Hueck Doherty)
"Enter into the mystery of being master and servant. Look at your neighbors and pick up the towel. With authority grounded in humility, kneel before them and wash off the dirt of daily living. If you are the neighbor in need of washing, lay aside your pride and, like Peter, accept the service of the one kneeling before you. Then go, and do likewise. Be blessed as you wash the feet of others and reveal the face of the Master through the towel in your hands."
(from MASTER AND SERVANT by Alma L. Maish)
