Wisdom from Fr. Gary Lauenstein, C.Ss.R.

 
 
 

The heart of the mystery of holiness is to realize that we are called to be friends with God. Holiness is not the result of a mechanical process in which grace is coinage and we are given so many graces in return for so many good deeds. Holiness describes a healthy, personal, loving relationship with God as our Friend.

—Fr. Gary Lauenstein, C.Ss.R.

from his book, The Heart of Holiness: Friendship with God and Others

As a result, our everyday experiences of our friendships with others are our stepping stones to holiness. With simplicity and grace, this book helps the reader to meditate on his understanding of himself, others, and God, and to look at his relationships in the light of their purpose—to give and to receive the love of God.
