"Our citizenship is in heaven." As we navigate the crucial week of the American midterm elections, today’s installment of A Word of Hope reflects on a timely and powerful reminder from St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (Philippians 3:17–4:1). By Fr. James Marchionda, OP, coming from St. Pius V Priory in Chicago, Illinois. What does our heavenly citizenship mean in the midst of our civic duties and democratic lives? In today's first reading, St. Paul cautions the Philippians against becoming overly consumed by earthly things and selfish ambitions. Instead, he calls us to stand firmly in the Lord, remember our identity as children of God, and seek leaders who model integrity and selflessness over personal gain. Join us for today's daily reflection as we bring our faith into our civic life and pray for our country. ⏱️ Video Chapters: 0:00 - "Our Citizenship is in Heaven" & Election Season 1:05 - What Heavenly Citizenship Means for Voters 1:16 - St. Paul’s Warning to the Philippians Against Selfish Ambition 2:21 - Remembering We Are Children of God at the Ballot Box 🙏 Share Your Thoughts: How does your faith guide you during election season?
