The Spiritually Vigorous Saint

That I may know Him. . .
            (Philippians 3:10)

A spiritually vigorous saint never believes that his circumstances simply happen at random, nor does he ever think of his life as being divided into the secular and the sacred. He sees every situation in which he finds himself as the means of obtaining a greater knowledge of Jesus Christ, and he has an attitude of unrestrained abandon and total surrender about him.

The aim of the spiritually vigorous saint is "that I may know Him."
