Mass Readings

Eph 5:21-33

Lk 13:18-21

Good morning loved one. Many people have thrown away Ephesians 5 because of that one little controversial verse we find in it. Verse 22 states “wives submit to your husbands” Yes Yes I will go there. Before you stone me, I beg of you to read the entire passage. It actually invites men to almost break themselves in half to love and provide. It invites men to love their wives as Christ loves the church. In a way invites us to sacrifice ourselves. This is an incredibly powerful passage for raising young men. We need strong, self sacrificing men who give their very lives to their families. I think that is good news. The submitting part is what lands not so well in our time and culture. It is about respect. Are you respectful? Do you undercut, undermine, publicly humiliate the other? This sounds ridiculous right? Walk a mile in the life of a police officer and you will hear and see how disrespect among couples has rotted our culture.

Just saying…. Read the whole passage!!! It has so much life.
