CC#17--Call to Holiness, part 2

To continue on our faith journey, in this Catholic Corner,  we will dive into part 2 of The Universal Call to Holiness which is an idea that has come to fruition over the last sixty years since the 2nd Vatican Council.

Our guide for  this part of the journey will be George Weigel's newly released book, To Sanctify the World: The Vital Legacy of Vatican II

Key points

• Our mission field, according to Saint John Paul II, is all around us.   All baptized Catholics and Christians are called to mission.
• The Church respects freedom.   Ultimately, the Church, just like Christ, proposes but never imposes.   One of the greatest quotes of John Paul II's papacy comes to us from his encyclical Redemptoris Missio, paragraph #39
• As Catholics and Christians, our standard for holiness can't be mediocrity.   We have to be better than mediocre.  Why?   Because Our Lord wants it to be so.  Our Lord wants us to be saints!  🙏😀
