Being Holy is to Be Human

Growing in holiness is to discover that the project of holiness is realized with the help of the Holy Spirit that moves people in different moments and makes a marvelous

work. He brings a movement of happiness. Because to be holy is to be happy.

Holiness is made of moments, of the now, of opportunities, of encounters. Upon reading this article, you will find yourself designing a project of happiness, because you can be involved in other things, but you are here in front of this page reading these words.

The Holy Spirit puts into us in each moment a holy attitude.

Do not dismiss the happiness that God gives to you. Happiness is holiness. And it is not a passing happiness. It does not have the speed of the broadband internet, but it has a continuous project of beginnings, middles and ends.

Disgracefully, many things that to be a saint it is necessary to leave being human and forget that the life is a project of beatitudes (happiness) To be holy is to be persons in the fullness. It is to be human in all that the word “human” implies.

Jesus always makes this processo of humanization…To be a person is not only to complete that which we have that is better, rather it is to discover and cultivate that which we have that is better in benefitting the rest. This is the saint. Holiness is to be what is better and not only to be “the best”.

Who wants to know how to be holy? Do things well. Bring Jesus to all places. always invite him to go with you to all places. Holiness is not to flee from the world, but rather, it is the transformation of the this world. It is to kow that we can leave marks from Heaven in the life of all those around us. This is to be saint. To do all things well is love. It is the secret of holiness, the truth of a humanity that lives in fullness. Love is all that people seek.

We cannot waste our youth. We should live intensely, putting all in Jesus and being persons, humans. Always with security of that which is possible to be saints in jeans.
