Parable and Conscience Meditation June 4

Community  June 4

(The Crosier) is a man with good human and social relationships, initiated in his family (Profile of the Congolese Crosier).

Christ is patient, Christ is kind; Christ is not jealous;

Christ is not pompous, he is not inflated, Christ is not rude,

   he does not seek his own interests, he is not quick tempered, 

   he does not brood over injury, he does not rejoice
   over wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth;

Christ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
   endures all things.

I am patient, I am kind; I am not jealous;

I am not pompous, I am not inflated, I am not rude, 

   I do not seek my own interests, I am not quick tempered, 

   I do not brood over injury, I do not rejoice
   over wrongdoing but rejoice in the truth;

I bear all things, believe all things, hope all things,
   endure all things.

Christ never fails.

   And I?

What does the beauty of a woman matter if she can’t present a good meal on a clean plate?  (Mossi)
