It reminds us of the abundance of love that heaven poured out over the earth.  This Love, first of all, is in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/chiara-lubich\/spiritualita-dellunita\/gesu-eucaristia\/\"> Eucharist<\/a> given to us on this day. This Love is in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/chiara-lubich\/spiritualita-dellunita\/la-chiesa\/\">priesthood<\/a>, which is a service of love and enables us to have the Eucharist. This Love is in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/chiara-lubich\/spiritualita-dellunita\/unita\/\">unity<\/a>, which is the effect of love and for which Jesus implored the Father: \u201cThat they may all be one, as you \u2026 and I\u201d (cf. Jn. 17:21). This Love is in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/chiara-lubich\/spiritualita-dellunita\/amore-reciproco\/\">the new commandment<\/a> which he revealed on this day before dying. \u201cJust as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another (Jn. 13:34-35). This commandment enables our life here on earth to be modelled on that of the Holy Trinity.  <em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focolare.org\/en\/chiara-lubich\/chi-e-chiara\/\">Chiara Lubich<\/a> during a telephone link up.
