The Sixth Sunday of Easter Year B

The Sixth Sunday of Easter

John 15:9-17

Gaze on a page of the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript from around ad 800; study the Celtic knots and intricate spirals that adorn it. See the way the threads twist and loop together without end or beginning, how hard it is to unravel. Are they separate strings or is it one continuous line? Try to trace one with your finger, see how it turns, how its path surprises you, its tumbling designs spilling across the page, yet so orderly. Take in the different colours, how they blend together and harmonize....
