Presentation of the lord

Hello friends,

This weekend we heard one of the best known and best loved passages in Scripture. St. Paul's' description of love. What is so beautiful about this passage is it deals with the ordinary, everyday kind of love that ordinary living requires. Paul describes this kind of love by telling us what love is not rather than what love is. It is not jealous, pompous, rude or selfish., it is not short-tempered nor does it hold grudges. It is patient and kind and trusting and willing to put up with all kinds of little annoyances. This is not about falling in love. Paul is talking about our ordinary day-today- contact with other people, some of whom we may not care for, but whom we learn how to be kind to. Practicing this ordinary kind of love doesn't always sweep us off our feet, but it does bring a kind of joy, because our vocation and our fulfillment in life is to learn how to love one another.

Hola amigos,

En este cuarto domingo del tiempo ordinario, escuchamos sobre la vida ordinaria de Jesus. Tambien escucuhamos a San Pablo hablarnos de algo ordinario que deberia de existir entre todaos nosotros: el amor. La segunda lectura de la primera carta de San Pablo a los Corintios es muy popular en las bodas. Es como si furea un poema que describe el amor de la pareja. En realidad, es un pasaje que habla sobre el amor que se tenian los premeros cristianos y el amor que todos deberiamos de compartir unos con otros. Habla sobre lo ordinario. Ojala y estas palabras de San Pablo nos hagan refeccionar sobre como estamos manejando ese tipo de amor con los demas. Al fin de cuentas, el amarnos unos a otros es el primer mandamiento.

Fr. Alex Urena
