This year I’d like you to focus on the universal call to holiness in the Church. Jesus gave us the Church as a lasting and uniquely holy means for achieving our eternal salvation. By his suffering, death and resurrection, he opened for us the way to heaven.
Take a moment now and think about what that means. How close are we to God and to “Godly” things, and what is our relationship with the Church? We are all made in the image and likeness of God. We are able to radiate His likeness by how we live our lives and give witness in this world.
There are many ways to reignite your sense of holiness this Lenten season. May you make one small resolution to discover the depth and breadth of our eternal Church. Blessed Lent to you. By your fasting, almsgiving and prayer, may you experience His love in a new and lasting way.
