Love
I was feeling a little down today, what with the world and all. Then I read this at Midday prayer:
"Love never fails. Prophecies will ceaes, toungues will be silent, knowledge will pass away. Our knowledge is imperfect and our prophesying is imperfect. There are in the end three things that last: faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love."
-- 1 Corinthians 13: 8-9,13
This, I think, describes the Church in so many ways today. Our prophets have fallen silent, people are forgetting basic teaching. We need, in their place, saints. Holiness. Love.
I'm glad St. Paul's on top of the situation.
