Topsy and Tuptim Discuss the (Mostly) Inspiring Chapter 4 of Amoris Laetitia

Chapter Four Paragraphs 89 - 164

Topsy and Tuptim like something in my exhortation?

Topsy and Tuptim are back at the coffee shop sharing a cheese Danish and drinking their favorite javas. Chapter four is the focus of today's meeting and they both have their highlighted copies in front of them.

Topsy: I was really excited to read Chapter four. 1 Corinthians 13 is one of my favorite Scripture passages. In fact, my husband and I chose it as the second reading at our wedding. (Laughing)...Not very original; lots of couples do. As I read through the different paragraphs: love is patient, love is kind...I was touched and convicted by some of the reflections. Like the one on "love is not irritable or resentful." Listen (She reads)..."It refers to a violent reaction within, a hidden irritation that sets us on edge where others are concerned, as if they were troublesome or threatening and thus to be avoided." Ouch! That pinched.
