And that each one of us is a unique human being, created in the image of God. If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Past generations from this congregation have, by naming Paul as our Patron, passed on to us a great legacy. It is the legacy of God's unconditional love for all people. It is a legacy that calls each one of us to recognize that the Liturgy of the Eucharist does not really begin until we leave the open doors of the cathedral today and live out the teachings of Jesus Christ in the world we will encounter.
