Thursday 23rd week of Ordinary Time

 Puffed up with Love




Coming up with the answer to a difficult question
Can make us feel good about ourselves.
So much so we might become
Puffed up with pride. 1Cor. 8:1

But when was the last time
We were puffed up,
Because we loved the unlovable?
Or because we noticed our own sin first;
Or because we turned the other cheek.

Knowledge is something we forget with age
Better to be puffed up with love;
With Mercy and Forgiveness.
Even with one’s own sins.
Rather than with pride
For that is really something to boast about.


God Bless
