Holiness means God in our lives

May 10Holiness means to be better than ourselves , means perfect victory over all our passions , mean real and constantly despise ourselves and the things of the world to prefer poverty to wealth , humiliation to glory, the pain pleasure. Holiness is to love our neighbor as ourselves and to love God. Holiness , at this point, is to love who curse us , hate us , persecute us , even to do good . Holiness is living humble, unselfish , prudent , just, patient, charitable , chaste, meek ​​, hardworking, observant of one's duties , for no other purpose than to please God , and him only to receive the deserved reward.In short , in the language of the sacred books , holiness, oh Raffaelina , possesses in itself the virtue of transforming man into God.

( December 30, 1915 , to Raffaelina Cerase - . Ep II , p 541. )
Within the framework of Easter of the Lord Jesus , our God and Savior , we find once again faithfulness , holiness, and glory and offer blessing to all those men and women who truly believe in Him is no doubt that the holiness is quite simply to die to ourselves. Die to ourselves to shine God's love in our lives. Sounds easy but it is very difficult especially when it is anchored to the pleasures of this world. And when I say I do not mean just pleasures , or only those who themselves are bad because we stray from God, but I also mean those who are not moving away from God , they become sweet to us. For example , before a recognition from someone. When you consider yourself worthy , deserving of such recognition, and not only that, but even looking or what you claim , then you are no longer being free to love God. To die by your own " Yo" means letting the Spirit of the Risen Jesus leads and your life . It means that you can see with the eyes of Jesus Christ. It means you can live with the Holy Spirit not as a hero but as a witness of the love of God in the world, loving and serving everyone as He has taught us . Thus, holiness is the possibility of becoming one who has shared everything with You.
