Could we still be holy?
Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Can we still be holy? how do we go back to the holiness that once was?
The answer is we couldn't. But God initiated everything. It is God's own doing that we go back along the path of holiness. All it takes is for us to thank God for everything: for the Immaculate Conception and for his son Jesus.
God wishes us to be freed from any stain of sin. God wishes us to be like him in holiness. That's is the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, even a tinge of holiness, unblemished state can heal the darkness of our lives. We just need to go to that direction.
Could we still be holy? The answer is "yes!"
Even the little things we do, sanctifying all things redounds to proclaiming God's greater glory and honor. We could do the following:
1. Fill ourselves with holy things each day. Only our adherence to Jesus can make us holy. He causes us to be holy through the sacraments and through the power of his word.
2. Resolve to be holy. There is no use holding on to the darkness. Make a firm resolution to travel along the path of holiness.
3. Practice holiness each day. Practice makes perfect especially if applied on others. Holiness is self-generating; it causes holiness in oneself and others. This is the grace we need to travel in in world till the next. Our Lady showed the way. It is impossible for us to be otherwise.
