A reading from the first letter of St.

Paul to the
Corinthians.
Chapter 13 , verses 1: 13

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. 2And 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. 3If 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.

4Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious


or boastful or arrogant 5or rude. It does not insist
on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6it
does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the
truth. 7It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will


come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as
for knowledge, it will come to an end. 9For we
know only in part, and we prophesy only in
part; 10but when the complete comes, the partial
will come to an end. 11When I was a child, I spoke
like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a
child; when I became an adult, I put an end to
childish ways. 12For now we see in a mirror,
dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I
know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I
have been fully known. 13And now faith, hope,
and love abide, these three; and the greatest of
these is love.
