"Trying to conform to the world's
definition of living can cause great pressure to a Christian who wants
to live the call to holiness. Many Catholic Christians are not even
aware that this call is for all baptized persons. Some wrongly think it
is meant only for people in the religious vocation. Whenever I take time
out to attend a renewal conference or retreat, I find myself convicted
to try again living the call to holiness. I feel my conscience drawing
me to live this holy life in light of the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and after the holy character of the Lord God, who calls us every day
to salvation. There are many lessons in Holy Scripture and also from
the lives of the Saints on how we can do this. One such lesson comes
from the first letter of St. Peter, where he suggests that all you need
to do to live a holy life is be obedient (cf. 1 Peter 1:13-16)."
In a recent commentary, writer Pamela Mandela reflected on the call to holiness extended to each Christian.
