Just one thing

„Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead,  I continue my pursuit toward the goal,  the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus.” (PHIL 3: 13-14)

For Saint Paul only one thing is important: to be „in Christ Jesus” forever. His strategy is also very simple: „forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal.” Don’t waste your time living in old memories of good old times, but invest „your whole heart” in today’s challenges and run forward to meet Our „gracious and merciful” Lord.

„Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart; for I am gracious and merciful.” (Gospel Acclamation)
