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.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It al-

ways protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails…. And now these three remain: faith, hope

and love. But the greatest of these is love.

- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8; 13
