Final Destination - Sainthood


Yesterday, we celebrated the Solemnity of All Saints. Our goal as Christians is to reach Heaven. More important than the goals we set in our education or career, the end game is to be united with Christ, and the path isn’t an easy one. The world and those around us make it difficult. Our own choices lead us astray. And through it all, we’re called to hold the course and fix our eyes on Christ. However, the reward is greater than anything our imaginations can comprehend.

As Catholics, we’re lucky to have Christ’s physical presence in the Eucharist. However, much like at Christ’s own baptism, in heaven, we will be together with the entirety of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. No movie or book (except the Bible) can describe what it’s like to be in the presence of God in Heaven, and the only way to know what it’s like is to get there. The Destination is worth the struggle of the journey.
