Season After Pentecost - Week 17 - T

St. Paul was in prison when he wrote to the Christians living in Philippi. This gave Paul a particular clarity and perspective on what is most important in life as he says in verse 21: “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”  Even though he declared that heaven is “far better”, Paul made use of his limited time to share the Gospel so that others would come to saving Faith. Each of us also has a limited time in this world, so we join in the partnership of the Gospel to bless others through Prayer, Growth, and Witness.
