THE PADRE'S PORTION 

Dear Brothers and Sisters: “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Cor 13) Here is a passage from the famous 1 Corinthians about Love. Paul mentions elsewhere, “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.” (1 Cor 12) Following from last week, let us be united in our prayers.                                                                                                                                                    Fr. David Tate

Deliver us in accord with your wonders,
         and bring glory to your name, O Lord.                                                                                                                                                                                      Daniel 3:40-43
