bearing with one another through love

“I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace…” (EPH 4: 1-3) 

Loving another person is sometimes not easy. When we have our wounds, our limits and our expectations, love can be a real challenge. We need all of our “humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” But when we are equipped with these strategies and these values, we can make our spouse happy.

“We praise you, O God, we acclaim you as Lord; the glorious company of Apostles praise you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
