Comments on: Universal Call to Holiness http://www.pathsoflove.com/blog/2009/01/universal-call-to-holiness/ A Catholic blog on the vocation to love and holiness, on the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, and on diverse theological and philosophical questions.

I just "stumbled" on this blog through Google : was searching for UNIVERSAL CALL TO HOLINESS. I live in Africa (Nigeria) and have been quite concerned for some time about how ordinary persons can attain union with Christ in holiness in their daily endeavours, whatever situation in life they are in. Daily life here is very challenging: irregular utilities (water, electricity), lack of roads, poorly equipped clinics, high rate of diseases around, etc. All these could be daunting at times and it's great to know that while we search for solutions to these problems, we can maintain real intimacy with the Lord who continually directs our efforts. Thanks for your great blog! Another very inspiring article I've come across which I thought to share is: http://www.escrivaworks.org/book/friends_of_god-chapter-18.htm Keep up the good work. Cheers, Obi Wonderful piece!

Check out this link: http://www.josemariaescriva.info/article/holiness-is-for-all I had the blessing of being there when Pope JPII canonized this Saint and called him "the Saint of the ordinary", for we are all called to be Holy in the middle of the world. Doing what we do with excellence, loving and facing God. Ephesians 4:4: "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call." Keep putting good information on the cyberspace, usaully too much trash out there. Thanks, Maria Great article.

I'm glad you found your way here, and like it. The book "Happy are you poor" is challenging, as Christ's call to take up the cross and follow him is challenging... and I found it very helpful.
