Incarnate Holiness – January 8th, 2018
Holiness is the Love of God at work in a concrete, active, and deliberate act. Yet, Holiness is never an individual act. It is a situation, and an act that not only implies the totality of the Church, but that we are also members of the created world around us. ~ God and Man, Metropolitan Anthony Bloom
The Holiness of the Church should express both the presence of Christ and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in each of its members and in the totality of its body. For the Church is the body of Christ, the locus of our encounter and participation with Christ, and thus the holiness of God. We are called to be partakers of His divine nature, and it is within and as the Church by which we accomplish this participatory act.
