Trinity Sunday invites us to reflect on the communion of love that is at the heart of God

While the love of God always comes first, our response to that love should take us outside of ourselves, as we are asked to share with others the love and compassion that we ourselves have received from God.

This Sunday’s liturgy reminds us that we are being asked to do more than just “show up” at the banquet to which we have been invited.

This mandate to love—symbolized in foot washing—shapes how we should talk about the gift of the Eucharist, just as it informs how we should celebrate our liturgies during these three days.
