thots - n - lots : random reflexions ... WORD 2day : 4th March, 2014 : The choice to be Holy ! From yesterdays call to remain within the parameters of the Reign, follows todays call to remain holy! Holiness is not merely an act, but an attitude; it is not doing a few things in a manner that is holy, but living our life, every moment of it, in a manner that is Godly. We are called to be holy because the one who has called us is Holy, reminds St. Peter today, resounding the call given in the book of Leviticus. When we decide for ourselves and choose to embark upon a sincere journey of holiness, Jesus promises us beautiful things - things that make us secure, persons who love and admire us, protection of God almighty that would guide us - but along with this, persecution... and of course eternal life, of which we partake already by virtue of our Baptism! Hence, the choice is ours : to choose God, remain in God and persevere through all trials or to give up, choose the desires of ignorance (1st reading), and lose our original identity and dignity of the children of God! Salvation is not some magical act that the Lord performs for us, but it is our growing into heaven. It is our daily maturity, by our constant faith, persistent hope and unfailing love. The Lords Spirit is within me... and the Lord invites me to become more of Him... ( Rev. Father: Antony Christy SDB ) thots-n-lots.blogspot.in/2014/03/word-2day-4th-march-2014.html
