Best Life Ever

Do not be afraid of holiness. It will take away none of your energy, vitality, or joy. On the contrary, you will become what the Father had in mind when he created you, and you will be faithful to your deepest self. To depend on God sets us free from every form of enslavement and leads us to recognize our great dignity.

Do not be afraid to set your sights higher, to allow yourself to be loved and liberated by God. Do not be afraid to let yourself be guided by the Holy Spirit. Holiness does not make you less human, since it is an encounter between your weakness and the power of God's grace. For in the words of León Bloy, when all is said and done, "the only great tragedy in life is not to become a saint."

Pope Francis, Gaudate et Excultate 32, 34

I think this wraps up our call to holiness pretty well. You can do this. You should do this. Nothing can make us feel as fulfilled, happy, and peaceful as a life lived in holiness. Why would we want to live any other way?
