3 steps to holiness


Last week, at the conclusion of his audience, the Pope offered a three-step plan for achieving holiness:

Go to Mass on Sunday, begin and end the day in contact with God, and make decisions according to the Ten Commandments. Well, to be precise, he expressed the essentials to achieving holiness as follows:
What is the most essential? Essential is that no Sunday be left without an encounter with the Risen Christ in the Eucharist -- this is not a burden but light for the whole week. Never to begin or end a day without at least a brief contact with God. And, in the journey of our life, to follow 'road signs' that God has communicated to us in the Decalogue read with Christ, which is simply the definition of charity in specific situations.

There really isn't a whole lot to add, is there? If we did those three things, we'd be well on the way!
