A call to Holiness - You shall be Holy: This holiness is the fire of Gods Word that must be alive and burning within our hearts. It is this fire, this dynamism, that will burn away the evil within us and around us and cause holiness to burst forth, healing and transforming the society and culture surrounding us. Evil is only eradicated by holiness, not by harshness. Holiness introduces into society a seed that heals and transforms. Holiness is a way of life that involves commitment and activity. It is not a passive endeavor, but rather a continuous choice to deepen ones relationship with God and to then allow this relationship to guide all of ones actions in the world. Holiness requires a radical change in mindset and attitude. The acceptance of the call to holiness places God as our final goal in every aspect of our lives. This fundamental orientation toward God even envelops and sustains our relationship with other human beings. Sustained by a life of virtue and fortified by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, God draws us ever closer to Himself and to that day when we shall see Him face-to-face in heaven and achieve full union with Him.
