"I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you”

“Peter said to him, ‘You shall never wash my feet.’” John 13:8

We can perhaps understand Peter’s confusion and resistance, as Jesus kneels before him to wash the dust and dirt from his feet. As they gather to share a final meal, Jesus’ act of humble service is a lesson in love and leadership for his disciples and for us.

We are reminded that the Gospel must be lived, not just contemplated.

The angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel said to her: “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said. “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. You will conceive and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.”

#Cardiff-Menevia

The 🗺️ is currently facing one of the most acute debt crises in history. Some of the world’s poorest countries are struggling with huge debt burdens.

Often, countries have already re-paid their debts once, but due to unscrupulous lenders & extortionate interest rates, they are left paying the original debt many times over.

They are forced to pay enormous sums to international banks & hedge funds instead of paying for hospitals & schools.
