At Mass this morning Father Marcus said in his sermon that we are all called to be holy. It's quite a scary thought really. Sometimes, when we think about being holy, we imagine someone very pious and other worldly; someone who is too busy praying to have a laugh. Or someone so very, very good that the humble sinner's mind reels at the thought of how far we are away from it, and how far we have to go. So we give up, shrug our shoulders and decide we'll still go to Mass on Sundays and say the odd prayer but we still want to enjoy this world and we have our life to lead. Perhaps we even think that God will have to make do with that!
I haven't really sorted out what being holy means, and I'm going to think and pray about it. I begin by feeling sure that it has something to do with love.
