You are His instrument.
In due time, the reply will come, remain quiet. Pray much and live intimately with our Lord Jesus Christ asking for light, strength, decision; but do not anticipate HIS WORK.

Let each one do his work conscientiously not...

The holiness
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As a conclusion to this series of catecheses on the lives of the saints, I would like today to speak of the holiness to which each Christian is called. Holiness is the fullness of the Christian life, a life in Christ; it consists in our being united to Christ, making our own his thoughts and actions, and conforming our lives to his. As such, it is chiefly the work...
