“The longer you stay away from Communion, the more your soul will become weak, and in the end you will become dangerously indifferent.”

                                        ~St. John Bosco

For Reflection:

How have I seen the truth of this statement in my life or in the life of others? How does this increase my zeal to receive Holy Communion properly prepared and with greater fervency?

11. CALLED TO HOLINESS
11.1 God calls everyone to holiness, without distinction of profession, age, social standing, etc, in each one’s walk of life.

There are no followers of Christ who do not have a Christian vocation, a personal call to sanctity.  He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him, as St. Paul was to repeat to the first Christians of Ephesus.  If we are to reach this goal we will need to make an effort that will last for the whole of our life on this earth.  Let the…righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.
