Fourth Sunday after Pentecost

‘Being concerned for the true interests of his beloved surely requires that the lover also be moved by a more elementary desire to identify those interests correctly. In order to obey the commands of love, one must first understand what it is that love commands.’


- Harry Frankfurt




‘The intended function of promising and commanding is not to inform us of what we don’t know but to take on duties toward us and to require things of us; trust and obedience are the appropriate responses.’


- Nicholas Wolterstorff
