Holiness is a harmony between the love of God, the love of neighbour, work and creation in every situation of our lives. Everyday holiness is not the holiness of Sundays. It is the holiness of the other six days in the week. Christianity is not a set of rituals; no, it involves following a Person, Jesus Christ.

Since Christ is with us always, our relationship with him – although more intense at some times than others – needs to reflect that presence. Everything we do should therefore have the “stamp” of trying to striving for everyday sanctity. This includes:

1. Doing ordinary things extraordinary well through a deep love of God.
2. Holiness is fulfilling our duties in our personal state of life with the greatest amount of love of God and neighbour (i.e. if I am a husband, then I am a good husband, if I am a mother then I am a good mother, etc.).
3. Everyday sanctity is when every part of my life is directed by faith.
4. Everyday sanctity is a harmony between my love of God, neighbour, work and creation in every situation of my life.

In all of this though, the person who strives to be holy cannot do it on his or her own. We need the grace of God to sustain us. This grace can be received in the sacraments of the Church and personal prayer.
