From today’s Scripture: “Brothers and Sisters, our citizenship is in heaven…”—Phil 3:20
You’ve no doubt heard the phrase “Keep the main thing, the main thing.” There’s lots of wisdom to that. It could be a modern version of the Latin, Quid hoc ad aeternitatum, which translates to how does it matter in the light of eternity?
St. Paul reminds us that as wonderful as this world can be, it’s not home. Remembering what is temporary and passing is a challenge, but the goal—the “main thing”—is ultimately getting to our true home, where we’re citizens.
Let us pray: Lord, as we traverse the joys and sorrows of this life, may we never lose sight of that home you have prepared for us.
