The mediators of Gods holiness are no longer places ( the Temple of Jerusalem or the Mountain of the Beautitudes), rites, objects or laws, but a person, JESUS CHRIST. In Jesus Christ is the very holiness of God that comes to us in person, not in distant reverberation of his. He is the Holy One of God (Jn. 6:69). Christ holiness comes to us in two ways, it is communicated to us by way of appropriation and imitation. There is but one sadness in the world, and it is not to be saints, said Leon Bloy. Mother Theresa felt being acclaimed as holy around the world, she exclaimed, Holiness is not a luxury, but a NECESSITY...let us always praise and glory the Lord in truth and in charity....Happy all Saints day to everyone...
