It is said that St John in advanced age became too frail to
preach, so his disciples would carry him into the assembly
where he would say simply, “Little children love one another”.
Abiding in love is one of the central themes of the writings
that take his name. Today we have those themes brought
together in the image of the vine. The vine is the sum of the
branched. One is indistinguishable from the other. When we
truly abide in Divine love, we are indistinguishable from
Christ.
- Pray that we all may experience God’s love.
- Give thanks for the work and witness of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev and Rt Hon
Justin Welby.
