“Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead.” (Philippians 3:13) St. Paul had admitted that he had persecuted the believers of God. He also had a profound faith that God will accept him into His sheepfold despite his past abuse of His followers. For that reason, he said, “Whatever gains I had, these I have come to consider a loss because of Christ.” (Philippians 3:7) He humbly acknowledged that Christ had totally gained him, yet he had not fully filled himself with Christ. ‘Striving Forward’ is St. Paul’s motto. He reminds us that the passion and death of Jesus Christ has wiped away all our sins. Most importantly, we must continue to live out the resurrected Christ within us. Jesus once said that by leaving this world, He would send forth the Holy Spirit to us, to continue the work of sanctifying the world. ‘Speeding Forward’ signifies that we must listen attentively to the voice of the Holy Spirit within us, without being disturbed by the ‘past’ or ‘future’.
