To the Editor:
How hard it can be to let someone do something for us when we think we can do it ourselves. For instance, most of us would balk at the idea of allowing any person to wash our feet, let alone the son of God. And yet, Jesus wants this simple gesture to be a sign of the love he has for us (John 13:1-15).
Maybe we find it hard to accept that Jesus would want to lower himself so much to serve us because we find it hard to grasp just how deeply he treasures us.
