In this week’s Gospel, Jesus promises peace to his disciples, though not as the world understands it (John 14.27). Writing on the ROOTS website, Ann Conway-Jones invites us to spend some time with Rublev’s icon of the Trinity, and to be drawn into its circle of love.
Come join us at the table:
rest your feet, your soul.
Don’t try to speak,
but catch your breath,
align your gaze with ours.
This is a moment out of time:
allow eternity
to seep into your veins,
before returning to your tasks.
In aid of the Friends of All Saints Church, Spelsbury
