The King's Maundy Message 2024
THE ROYAL MAUNDY SERVICE 2024, WORCESTER CATHEDRAL
His Majesty was unable to attend the 2024 Royal Maundy Service, so a recording of the following message was played to the congregation at Worcester Cathedral.
The audio message started with The King reading The First Lesson – a reading from the Gospel according to John (John 13.1 – 15).
The text of His Majesty's Message
“Ladies and Gentlemen, it is, for me, a great sadness that I cannot be with you all today. The Maundy Service has a very special place in my heart. It has its origin in the life of Our Lord who knelt before his disciples and, to their great surprise, washed their travel-weary feet. And, as we have just heard, in doing so he deliberately gave to them and to us all an example of how we should serve and care for each other.
