Spirituality: "Invitation to Holiness" by James C. Fenhagen

The call to a holy life is extended to everyone whose life has been touched by the reality of God. Holiness is not the fruit of specialness, but of faithfulness. For to be faithful in a relationship is to honor it by the way we live. The call to holiness in our day is a call to live in the world as a sign of the Kingdom. It is a call to participate in those things that contribute to human solidarity, forgiveness and compassion, righteousness and justice, and ultimately global peace.

    What a wonderful way to look at it -- not so much holiness, but life itself.
    What an inspiring thought for today. Thank you.
