Ephesians 4: 9-16

Here it is. The famous passage of St. Paul bidding the church to “speak the truth in love.” How has the recent pandemic changed how you talk to others? Are you being honest with yourself, with others, with your kids? It’s not easy this speaking the truth in love thing and yet Christ is perfect TRUTH and Christ is perfect LOVE. The Pattern of Redemption that we see in this reflection by Paul is that Jesus, ascended to the father, is pouring out love into the world through his Spirit and his church and we need to simply remain in him.
