I get the sense that many preachers avoid talking about this passage of Ephesians, for the focus on wives being subordinate to their husbands. But, Paul is making much larger claims than simply subordination. All too often, the command to husbands is not emphasized. They are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church. And that is a total, other-centered love that is awesome indeed.

Be not afraid. On the day of an optional memorial for Saint Pope John Paul II, I am reminded of this phrase which he said so often. The bible quotes God as saying this phrase, or some variation of it, repeatedly. If there was ever a time when we were called to remember that we are in God’s presence always, and need not be afraid, it is now.
