Heaven is Home

For us, our homeland is in heaven, and from heaven comes the Savior we are waiting for, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ph.3:20

Saint Paul reminds the Philippian Church that heaven is their home and home is where they to be facing while waiting for the return of Jesus.

The world about me screeches that here is my home. When I listen to this I become grasping, trying to grab and hold more of the world. Jesus says this is just shadowlands, that even the best of days is just a glimmer of what is to come. Today I am in the world but not of it. Heaven is my home.

Thank you Jesus for calling me further up and further in. I place my trust in you.

Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
