Michael J. Sievert, M.D.
BC-Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

As Paul says in Corinthians, love is the most compelling, enduring and powerful force we can know. With love as the basis of our relationships, all things will be manageable. Through love for our fellow humans, we can overcome death.
