If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Think of what is above, not of what is on earth. (Colossians 3:1-2 NABRE)
Saint Paul offers the faithful a strong reminder: Seek what is above. Do not think of what is on earth. Focus on the things of God, not the distractions of this world.
When we were baptized, we were, in a very real way, buried with Christ and then "raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead." (Colossians 2:12).
Today, on this Monday of the Seventh Week of Easter, I will continue to pursue what is good and perfect, and to dwell less on what is not.
Saint John I, sixth-century martyr whose life reminds us that all the faithful must be prepared to confess Christ before humanity and to follow him along the way of the cross, pray for us.
