Holiness is about everyday life

A very interesting and important thing that Pope Francis said is that holiness is about everyday life, how we live each day. Are we conscious? Are we awake? And are we living by the true values of our discipleship? But he also said, although it’s about everyday life, we need, it is an absolute necessity, we simply cannot do without the silence of prolonged prayer. We cannot do without the silence of prolonged prayer. We need times of silence, times of solitude every day. And if we want to awaken to our holiness – that’s what being holy means, that we are temples of the Holy Spirit – if we want to awaken to that, then we need to take time every day to be still, to be silent in God’s presence, and to be present to God.
