This inspiring Christian leader reminds all men and women, no matter what their state in life, occupation or specific vocation, that every Christian is called to holiness.
Citing the words of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (Matt. 5:48) The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us,
All Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity. All are called to holiness: Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (CCC #2013)
