Chosen before the foundation of the world.

St. reminds the truth already contained in the Old Testament. God knows us before we were conceived(Jérémiah 1:5) . He already had plans for us; plans to prosper us and not to harm us and plans to give us hope and a future (Jérémiah 29:11). Paul tells us today that "he destined us in love and holiness; he destined us to be his adopted children through Christ. Our finale goal is a total communion with God.

St. Ignatius of Antioch, pray for us!
