What is it to be Holy???

You’ve got to find what you love,” said Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple Computer and Pixar Animation Studios. Joining the Seminary, wanting to serve the Lord by spreading His love to all people, I wanted to taste holiness. Within some weeks, I was lost because my idea of holiness was taking a roller coaster ride, visiting areas which I never dreamed of.
Well, what do you say? What is holiness according to you? Will you consider a person holy, who sits in the church all day, mesmerized in his conversation with God? Or will you call a person holy, who has a heart for all people? Yes, I do want to become holy. But how, that was the question pricking my mind.
It was only later, in my living the consecrated life that I grasped the concept of holiness and now I am working to embrace it and become one, or rather being open to His Grace and allowing it to work in my life. I am happy to share it with you.
Prayer is important, firstly. That internal connection once established, it will automatically push you to be loving, to be kind to all peoples. Because once tasting the Lord, no one can but want everyone to have the same experience. In the sharing of this wonderful experience, one may feel his energy drained out. It is then, prayer acts as a battery charger. The internal relationship blossoms forth in our external relationships.
Now, here comes the tricky part. We are not all same. We have different genes, different looks, different tastes, different interests and different likings. Why? Because each one of us has a mission to make this world a beautiful place, which no one else but oneself can do.  Just to give an example, in a management crew, each person is trained for a specific work to do. The effectiveness of the whole group depends on each member. 
In the same way, we all have a specific mission by which we can contribute. In doing so one becomes holy. Just look around, people have different interests in which they can blossom to the full. How to fulfill this mission and be holy? 
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 
They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Be a live bomb, living life!!! Not to destroy and spread hatred but to LOVE  and heal all broken hearts. 
BE A LOVE BOMB !!!
