Welcome to our celebration of the Eucharist. Today’s First Reading
speaks of the early Church’s growing understanding, with the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, of the gathering of all nations into the one
worldwide People of God. The Second Reading and the Gospel
emphasise the divine communion of love into which we are called to
dwell and Christ’s command to love one another as he has loved us.
