Valentine's day

Querida Big Family,

Siempre he odiado el día de San Valentín, pero este año me apetece mucho celebrarlo.

Y es que creo que con amor, dado y recibido, todo se puede conseguir. El Amor todo lo puede. Ya lo decía San Pablo.

Os mando esta felicitación de cUKas jugando en su habitación de Orchard Way.

Y le mandamos un AMOR muy grande y muy especial a Carmen, a Pepe y a José Ignacio. Os queremos.

Y hoy no voy a traducir como tal mi post. Simplemente os dejo el pasaje de Corintios 13 en inglés…que una se está aficionando últimamente a las liturgias y los rezos “abroad”.

1 Corinthians 13 

The Way of Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not 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 have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful itdoes not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,  but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.  When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.  Fornow we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
