"The Lord said to Moses: Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy." (Leviticus 19: 1 - 2 NABRE)
"So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5: 48)
Is holiness a scary subject to you? Or perhaps you consider it a topic for nuns, priests and pastors? To be holy, you must want to be holy. Do you desire to be holy?
Holiness consists simply in loving your neighbor as yourself and accepting with serenity day after day the things you cannot change. These are your crosses.
Of course you cannot do the above without a life of prayer and complete trust and dependence on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of holiness dwells in you and makes you a temple of God. (1 Corinthians 3: 16)
Desire holiness and make friends with the Holy Spirit and He will do the rest.
