"It is better for me to die in Christ Jesus than to reign over the ends of the earth. Him it is I seek - who died for us. Him it is I desire - who rose for us. I am on the point of giving birth. . . . Let me receive pure light; when I shall have arrived there, then shall I be a man."
St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop & Martyr
I came across the above quote today when working on my paper on "The Last Things". What a great reminder that it's not about worldly power and success - it's about being united with Christ and being ready for eternity. Please, Lord, help me to keep that a priority!
