A Holy One!

For some people holiness means a life overflowing withn virtue and goodness. For some it is a place like a church or an air conditioned adoration chapel, For others it is kneeling down , closing their eyes and praying the rosary as slowly and fervently as possible. Others still regard holiness as the feeling they get after going to church.

Holiness is not a place, a mood or or a feeling. Holiness is an action word because it is to be discovered in love of neighbore. In other words, the surest way to be holy is to love and to serve. Holiness is not a matter of feeling , holiness is an action word. The holiness that expects to us is the service of the poor, or the under priviledge or the forgotten.

It is always good no matter how small your salary is, to set aside something for the poor.. No matter how big our salary has become, we must never forget part of the wage we receive, part of the blessing we receive should go to the poor. It is not only spiritual exercise, It carries with its promise that those who will give will received a hundredfold.
