Invited into intimacy

John 13:15 is taken from the account of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. The approaching moments of absolution and Holy Communion are not simply mechanics. The actions of the ministers are only effective because it is Christ who is acting.

As Christ created intimate moments when washing His disciples' feet, He invites us into the intimate moments of Holy Communion.

Out of love for Him and to truly receive His offer, our responsibility is to come and be cleansed by Him.
