No Mold for Holiness: The Unique Path of Every Saint

Today’s Gospel reflection, centered on the Beatitudes, . . .

. . . highlights the universal call to holiness and the unity of the three “churches”: the Church Militant (pilgrim believers on earth), the Church Penitent (souls being purified), and the Church Triumphant (saints in heaven).

The Homily emphasizes that sainthood is not something we wait for after death, but something we are called to pursue now through our daily lives. Each person reflects Christ uniquely . . . there is no single “mold” for holiness. Using examples like St. André Bessette, who served humbly as a doorkeeper, and Blessed Carlo Acutis, who used technology to evangelize, the message encourages the faithful to mirror Christ in their own circumstances.

Holiness is expressed through living the Beatitudes, displaying the fruits of the Spirit, and manifesting God’s love, peace, mercy, and goodness in ordinary life. The faithful are invited to see themselves already on the journey toward the communion enjoyed by the saints, and to ask: How am I reflecting Christ today?
