E2: The Willingness To Begin Again
from Canons On The Run Hosted by St. Norbert Abbey
“Holiness does not consist in not making mistakes or never sinning. Holiness grows with the capacity for conversion, repentance, willingness to begin again, and above all with the capacity for reconciliation and forgiveness.” —Pope Benedict XVI It is easy to set goals for running, studying, or eating well, but what about goal-setting when it comes to other aspects of our lives? How do we measure holiness? How do we know we are actually growing in our faith? What does saintliness even look like? Perfection? Or simply the willingness to begin again? Enter the Communion of Saints—our guides, our exemplars of faith, our teachers. For more information about St. Norbert Abbey, please visit norbertines.org (episode originally published in 2017)
