Please click the play button above to listen now.
"Our second reading, from Paul's letter to the Philippians, contains one of the oldest texts in the tradition, a ""hymn"" that Paul received and adapted for his purposes. It speaks of a fully divine Jesus who was, nevertheless, willing to empty himself utterly and become a slave on our behalf. All of the drama, poetry, and power of Christianity is contained in that paradox."
