Love is patient
love is kind.
It is not jealous,
is not pompous
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.
The well-known "love verse" from the Bible!
No, I won't be having this as one of the readings in my Nuptial mass, but it's good to be reminded of some of these vital qualities of charitable love when dealing with our family, friends, neighbours in order to be more like Jesus and Mary.
(and I just found the picture and thought it was sweet!)

Those are beautiful words. Jonathan once gave me a little framed print of those words. I love the picture too!
