The Heart of Personal Holiness



"Suffering then, yours, mine, the Pontiffs, is at the heart of personal holiness, because it is our sharing in the obedience of Jesus which reveals his glory.  It is the means by which we are made witnesses of his suffering and sharers in the glory to come.

Bishop Edward J. Slattery
