A message from The Ecumenical & Interfaith Commission, Episcopal Diocese of New York:
During Holy Week our scripture readings make frequent reference to “the Jews.” These words are broadly understood as
referring to some of the Judean authorities of the time who were opposed to Jesus, and not to Jews as a people, then or now.MAUNDY THURSDAY 3

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
Bishop The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Bishop Let us pray.
A
LMIGHTY Father, whose dear Son, on the night
before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his
Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive
it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord, who
in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and
who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever.
People Amen.
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF EXODUS
T
HE Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of
Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning
of months; it shall be the first month of the year for
you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth
of this month they are to take a lamb for each family, a lamb
for each household. If a household is too small for a whole
lamb, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the
lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people
who eat of it. This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded,
your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and
you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the Lord. For
I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will
strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human
beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute
judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you
on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will
pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike
the land of Egypt.
This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You
shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord; throughout your
generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance.
(12:1-4, 11–14)
Lector The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.MAUNDY THURSDAY 5 PSALM 116:1, 10–17 Said responsively. Dilexi, quoniam Lector I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, People because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him. Lector How shall I repay the Lord People for all the good things he has done for me? Lector I will lift up the cup of salvation People and call upon the Name of the Lord. Lector I will fulfill my vows to the Lord People in the presence of all his people. Lector Precious in the sight of the Lord People is the death of his servants. Lector O Lord, I am your servant; People I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. Lector I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving People and call upon the Name of the Lord. Lector I will fulfill my vows to the Lord People in the presence of all his people, Lector In the courts of the Lord’s house, People in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
MAUNDY THURSDAY 6
A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL
Bishop The Holy Gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
N
OW before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew
that his hour had come to depart from this world and
go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in
the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put
it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him.
And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given
all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and
was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer
robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water
into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe
them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to
Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash
my feet?” Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am
doing, but later you will understand.” Peter said to him, “You
will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you,
you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord,
not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said
to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except
for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though
not all of you.” For he knew who was to betray him; for this
reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had
returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what
I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord--and you
are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher,
have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s
feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do
as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, servants are not
greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the
one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed
if you do them.
“Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been
glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will
also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little
children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for
me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I
am going, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment,
that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also
should love one another. By this everyone will know that you
are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (13:1–17,
31b–35)
Bishop The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.MAUNDY THURSDAY 7

Anthem at the Foot Washing, Maundy Thursday
THE MANDUTUM: LOVING AS JESUS LOVES US
D
URING Lent, the members of our worshipping
community have made donations of $40 so
Cathedral Community Cares (CCC) could procure
for our clients socks, but especially sneakers. Normally, we
would wash one another’s feet at this point in our Maundy
Thursday liturgy. In these COVID days, we fulfill Jesus’
commandment to love one another in a different way.
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
The People are asked to pray for the Church, the nations and
their leaders, those in need, and the dead.
After each petition, silence is kept.
The Bishop concludes
G
OD our Father, whose Son our Lord Jesus Christ in
a wonderful Sacrament has left us a memorial of his
passion: Grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries
of his Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within
ourselves the fruit of his redemption; who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
People Amen.

The liturgical day begins at Sundown, so it is already Good Friday. The liturgy we have just celebrated begins the Easter
Triduum: Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. The Church celebrates these three days as if they were one day,
so all the liturgies are really one. The Liturgy of Maundy Thursday concludes with neither a blessing nor a dismissal, since it
is actually the first segment of a three-part liturgy. The liturgy continues tomorrow at noon and concludes Sunday at 11:00.
In prayer and recollection, the People now continue to observe the Three Days.MAUNDY THURSDAY 9
