judgement.” Paul’s letter is still relevant to the life's of catholics today because there are many people who need a helping hand. Roman’s 12:1-21 expresses the importance of serving one another. Roman’s 12:13 states “Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.” This tells us to offer a helping hand to everyone wether we know them or not.

(I pray this inclusion concerning celibacy will not confuse people. My purpose is to intertwine this “state of being” into what ‘I believe’ is the true meaning of this position with God; therefore, please abide with me to explain this.) In the Old Testament, a few people known for celibacy or bachelor- hood were Elijah, Joshua and Gideon, along with the Jewish Essenes.

The tone of the epistle is apparent, Paul regards the Philippi church dear to his heart and it is also apparent that the church’s sentiments towards Paul are similar (Phil 1:7). The epistle is Paul’s response to the Philippi church where he takes the time…

that the church is universal in that it spans across the entire globe, to all people, and through all time. As technology continues to make the world smaller, the concept of the church spanning across the globe and to all types of people has grown easier to grasp.
