Personal holiness does not exist in isolation
from the reality of the Mystical Body because each person is essentially a
social being. My personal deficiencies affect [not only myself but they affect]
the Mystical Body, too, just as my other failures or my holiness—my personal
acts—affect the Mystical Body. Thus there are two dimensions for each one of
us: the personal dimension of our own holiness—our own relationship with God
and our own personal merit, and the social one—the contribution we give to the
Mystical Body in a conscious or unconscious way. (Holiness)The Pro Sanctity Movement is a Catholic-based organization dedicated to promoting the universal call to holiness in daily life. It seeks to address the needs of the mind with theology, the heart with spirituality, and the hands with ministry. It is open to all, especially those who wish to deepen their commitment to God and share with others the message of holiness.
Be Holy, Be Happy!
