And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.<br>Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth.<br>It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.<br>But as for prophesies, they will comes to an end; as for tongues they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end.<br>When I was a child I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.<br>For now we see in a mirror dimply, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.<br>And now faith hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5\" height=\"10\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\"><br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5\" height=\"5\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/cfd132e6001\/51be39ef-3d54-45d8-91bd-cfb15c0ef10e.jpg\" alt=\"\"><br><br>If you happen to look on the internet for memes illustrating 1 Cor 13, most of them are sweet &#8211; flowers and hearts!<br>But actually, the love that Paul refers to here is something altogether different.<br>Tomorrow&#8217;s homily will continue looking at 1 Corinthians, building on the one by Paula Shepard two weeks ago, and Ryan Williams&#8217; last week.<br>You might think, though, that you have heard this passage so often that it&#8217;s kind of boring &#8211; If so, read it again a few times, slowly, before tomorrow morning and see if you notice anything new.<br><br>You just might!<br><br>                                      <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"263\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/cfd132e6001\/d3de9421-2dfe-4cf5-ad37-32e8fd8041e0.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St Alban&#8217;s Episcopal ChurchBolivar, Missouri Monday, January 31, 2022Pictures of our Children1 Corinthians 13:1-13 If I speak with the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
