Today’s first reading is Paul’s speech about love. Love is patient, love is kind… This is often a reading for weddings, but it is about Jesus. Let’s all spread the good news about love today. Amen!

In the gospel, Jesus is speaking about John the Baptist. He is also concerned with the people focusing on the wrong things. Whether you eat or starve, whether you surround yourself with the “right” people or the sinners and tax collectors. Those things are meaningless in the bigger picture. Love one another.
