"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek it's own, is not provoked, thinks no wrong..."

This love is what holds the Christian Church above the world; this love demonstrates that the people of G-d are alive and speak. If we are vital, than we will ask G-d for the highest of gifts, which is the love of G-d. When we look at our lives, we must look at them in the mirror of G-d's love and compassion for us when He gave us Jesus as an atonement for sin and an offering of life to humanity. Because of the love that we have for Jesus and each other, we are distinct altogether from the pattern of this world because this love is alien to the nature of mankind. Therefore, we must ask the Lord to grant us the ability to see others as we ought--in the light of His love and grace.

"A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

"People do not get crucified for charity.
People are crucified for living out a love that
disrupts the social order, that calls forth a new world.
People are not crucified for helping poor people.
People are crucified for joining them."
