Scripture

In celebration of our baby Paul and the Year of St. Paul, I want to share my favorite quote/scripture from St. Paul. Both Mark and I love what this scripture says, so much so that it was part of the second reading from our Nuptial Mass. 

Have a good Holy Week. 

“But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, based on law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith; that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that if possible I may attain the resurrection of the dead” (Phil 3:7-11, RSVCE).
