March 16: Second Sunday of Lent – Start with the End in Mind
Missionary Discipleship – Start with the End in Mind

St. Paul reminds us today that “our minds are occupied on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven.” Before we start a project, we usually visualize the end result and make the proper preparations to achieve the desired result. Successful companies do this all the time. They plan, prepare, adjust and allocate resources to achieve the goal. Dr. Stephen Covey says “starting with the end in mind” is one of the habits of highly effective people. Maybe we should apply this concept to our relationship with the Holy Trinity. Too many of us set our sights too low, we don’t reach for heaven! Starting with the end in mind doesn’t make things any easier, but it does keep us focused on the end goal – heaven. God has given each of us a plan. Be open to what God is calling you to do and invite others to do the same.
