The goal for all of us.

Today is the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul and the second reading offers the goal for all of us to able to say when our lives are nearing the end:

I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith; all there is to come for me now is the crown of uprightness which the Lord, the upright judge, will give to me on that Day, and not only to me but to all those who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8
