1 Peter 4:7-11 - above all things, have fervent love among yourselves

* Today's second lesson deviates from the lectionary; on this Sunday before we re-gather in person for the first time, Fr. Adam offers these words from Paul's exhortation in Romans 14 to help prepare us spiritually to move forward together at a time when opinions are diverse in the parish.
