No Gift Higher than Love

-

1 Corinthians 13


1 If I could speak all the human and angelic tongues, but had no love, I would only be sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, knowing secret things with all kinds of knowledge, and had faith great enough to remove mountains, but had no love, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave ev­erything I had to the poor, and even give up my body to be burned, if I am without love, it would be of no value to me.

4 Love is patient, kind, without envy. It is not boastful or arrogant. It is not ill mannered nor does it seek its own interest. 5 Love overcomes anger and forgets offenses. 6 It does not take delight in wrong, but rejoices in truth. 7 Love excuses everything, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love will never end. Prophecies may cease, tongues be silent and knowledge disappear. 9 For knowledge grasps something of the truth and prophecy as well. 10 And when what is perfect comes, everything imperfect will pass away. 11 When I was a child I thought and reasoned like a child, but when I grew up, I gave up childish ways. 12 Likewise, at present we see dimly as in a mirror, but then it shall be face to face. Now we know in part, but then I will know as I am known. 13 Now we have faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.

The Queenship of Mary

Mary, The Queen of All Heaven and Earth Do you ever wonder why the Most Blessed Virgin Mary is clothed with golden adoration, and a crown so elegant? It is because she is a Queen in Heaven, paying honor to the devoted Mother to Her Son. Moreover, we, the Roman Catholic brethren, intended the 22nd of August in celebration of the Feast of the Queenship of the Virgin Mary. 1 To commemorate this very special day intended to Mary, Marian devotees are putting crowns upon Her images to value the power that the Virgin Mary had, and the undying dignity that transcends space and time. In accordance with the unshakable faith that we possess, we all are fully aware that Jesus Christ, King of Zion, is also the King of Earth and Heaven even if the world we are living right now is turned upside down. With this, it is just right for His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary to be sharing the title up above. Behind the Lord Jesus’ omniscient power and redemption He has been giving to all who believes, t
