"“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”"

— 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

As the sun sets and the day's hustle fades into the whispers of the evening, we are invited to pause and reflect on the profound nature of love as described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-5. Love, in its purest form, is a gentle force that nurtures our spirits and binds us together. It is patient, allowing us to grow and learn at our own pace. It is kind, extending compassion even when we feel unworthy. In a world often filled with envy and pride, we are called to rise above, to honor one another, and to seek the good of others rather than our own desires. Let us remember that love is not easily angered; it invites understanding and forgiveness, as it keeps no record of wrongs. In this quiet moment, let us invite this divine love into our hearts, allowing it to transform our relationships and our lives. May we embody this love in our actions and thoughts, reflecting the light of grace and humility.

The Benediction

Heavenly Father, as the evening descends upon us, we come before You with grateful hearts. Thank You for the gift of love that You have shown us through Your Son. Help us to be patient and kind, to let go of envy and pride, and to act with honor and selflessness. Teach us to love as You love, to forgive as You forgive, and to embrace the beauty of relationships founded on Your perfect love. May our hearts be filled with compassion, and our words and actions be a testament to Your grace. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.
