Wisdom from St. Alphonsus Liguori (Part 6)

                                    Predella from "Christ Glorified in the Court of Heaven" by Fra Angelico


This is from St. Alphonsus Liguori's "The Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ:"

 

They, then, who say "God does not wish us all to be saints" make a great mistake. Yes, for St. Paul says, "This is the Will of God, your sanctification."  God wishes all to be saints, and each one according to his state of life: the religious as a religious; the secular as a secular; the priest as a priest; the married as married; the man of business as a man of business; the soldier as a soldier; and so of every other state of life.

St. Alphonsus Liguori, pray for us.
