To continue from last week, Matthew Kelly goes on to pose a very basic question. He writes: “The great confusion that is torturing the Church and weakening our faith surrounds one question: What is holiness? The falling attendance at church, the marginalization of the Church by our secular culture, and our failure to reach the youth are all caused by our inability to communicate clearly the answer to this question.
There are a lot of good people out there who want to walk with God. They want to know and embrace truth and live good Christian lives; they just don’t know how to practically apply the principles of the Gospel to their everyday lives.”
That question — what is holiness? — is something we could all reflect on. We could go further and ask ourselves ‘are we holy’?
