Quote for Today

“Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.”

  • Pope Francis

REFLECTION

HOLINESS AND PURIFICATION

In the process of sanctification, God plays a pivotal role by working within individuals to transform them into the likeness of Christ. This ongoing work involves the Holy Spirit empowering believers to grow spiritually, mature in faith, and become more aligned with God's will. It's a cooperative effort where God, through the Holy Spirit, guides, molds, and refines individuals, enabling them to exhibit traits such as love, patience, kindness, and self-control. God's work in sanctification involves convicting individuals of their shortcomings, providing strength to overcome temptations, and enabling them to live lives that honour God. This transformation encompasses various aspects of life, including thoughts, behaviours, attitudes, and relationships, leading believers to become more Christ like as they continuously yield to God's guidance and empowerment in their journey of faith. Sanctification changes our old character into that of Christ’s character.
