Hold on to the word of life, so that my boast for the day of Christ may be that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. But, even if I am poured out as a libation upon the sacrificial service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with all of you. In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me. (Phil 2:12-18)

In this passage from the Letter to the Philippians, Saint Paul is facing his own martyrdom. Reviewing his life in Christ, he doesn’t complain about the race he has run nor all the labor he has done, rather he rejoices. When we have done all that we can do, the rest is in God’s hands. As my grandmother would always say with a smile, “Do the best you can, that’s all the angels can do!”
