 Readings:

Jeremiah 1, 4-5, 17-19,  Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

Psalm 71,  I will sing of your salvation.

1 Corinthians 13, 4-13, Love is patient, love is kind.

Luke 4, 21-30, No prophet is accepted in his own native place.

For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use,

The Bible at Your Fingertips (http://st-luke-church.org/bible-at-finger-tips.php) and USCCB, The New American Bible (http://www.usccb.org/).  

The difference?  The first is Protestant more or less, and the second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations. 

Buying a bible?  The Jerusalem Bible.

True? 

No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them.

 You have doubts?  This is alligator habitat, nice cool lagoon, warm bank for sunbathing.   One warm Sunday afternoon during a Thanksgiving week, there was a, say, 5 foot, sunbather.   Problem: blind curves on the bike path.  Thanks be to other cyclists and walkers who warned this biker.

Malachi 3:  But for you who fear my name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays.
2 Thessalonians 3:  Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us.
Luke 21:  Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.

To live is to venture beyond our fears to taste the sweetness of the unknown.
