From my professor:
"Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus." (Phil. 1:6 - DRA).
These are the words the bishop says to the ordinandi, those who are being ordained, just after making their vows during the ordination Mass. (Ferguson, 2018).
Personal Reflection:
We are to be confident that what God has started, He can complete or perfect that work in us. St. Paul is quite pleased and confident in the Christian community he founded at Phillipi. They have remained strong in the Gospel and St. Paul is sure that they will continue to grow in Christ and grow His Church in the Phillipian community (Hunt, 2018).
