Throughout these last few weeks I have been discussing the Universal Call to Holiness and how we can complete it. I have related many things to it but I have never completely focused an entire post to it. The Universal Call to Holiness is built and based off of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Scripture states, “In the Church everyone does not proceed by the same path, nevertheless all are called to sanctity and have received equal privilege of faith through the Justice of God.” The term used to show this mission is the universal call to holiness.
There are very many ways to respond to the call in the way that God intends us to respond. There are five responses that are proper and. Jesus taught us them so that we will be able to accept God which will lead us to heaven or paradise with God. The five responses are active and regular participation in the liturgy of the Church, especially the Holy Mass; Frequent reception of the sacraments, particularly the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation; A well-informed life of prayer as a focal point of each day; The practice of sacrifice and self-denial; The sanctification of ordinary life- family life, professional work, and all human relationships; and Our witness and apostolate in the Church community and in society.
