September 15

Love is patient, love is kind.
It is not jealous, love is not pompous,
it is not inflated, it is not rude,
it does not seek its own interests,
it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.


This is what we are called to be. These are the characteristics we are called to have. Ironically, it is in these characteristics that we wind up having the most freedom.
