Today's reflection is brought to you by
1 Corinthians 13: 1- 13.
O Christ,
Canada's capital city,
and to a lesser extent,
my own home town,
have been inundated by people insisting on
Freedom.
Freedom from restrictions of every kind,
freedom from vaccines,
freedom from certain politicians.
The problem is that we forget
how you made it clear
that with the freedoms we enjoy
comes responsibility
for the most vulnerable,
the least among us.
You call us to the freedom
that comes from being your beloved,
and remind us
that everyone else is also your beloved.
You expect us to love,
to will the good
of everyone,
not just ourselves.
Love is patient
and kind
and we must be,
too.
Help us,
please,
help us
to look beyond our own agendas
and see to the good of all.
+Amen
Here's a lovely song that Farley sang today at Inner City Pastoral Ministry, that fits perfectly with the sermon we heard. I had never heard it before, and I love how 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 has become a poem by Timothy Dudley-Smith, which is now a song with melody by Michael Joncas... enjoy!
