1 Cor 12:31 - 13:13 / Luke 7:31-35
Over the past few months, we have seen something that we never thought could have happened.
We have seen high flying companies come a grinding halt.
We have seen empty stadiums, empty concert halls, empty cinema halls.
Where once there were crowds, we now see deserted spaces.
If there is anything that we have to learn from the past few month it could be this:
- Nothing can be so certain and absolute anymore.
- No one is indispensable and everyone can be flexible
- Things can change suddenly and survival is about adaptability.
But there are still more important things to learn from all this.
As the 1st reading puts it: In short, there are three things that last: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love.
Yes, when all is over and gone, love will remain and that love is from God and God alone.
When we can learn this, then we too will become persons of love and continue to grow and bear fruits of love for the world to see.
