From the Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate of the Holy Father Francis on the Call to Holiness in Today’s World.
Always ask the Spirit what Jesus expects from you at every moment of your life and in every decision you must make, so as to discern its place in the mission you have received.
Allow the Spirit to forge in you the personal mystery that can reflect Jesus Christ in today’s world.
May you come to realise what that word is, the message of Jesus that God wants to speak to the world by your life. Let yourself be transformed.
Let yourself be renewed by the Spirit, so that this can happen, lest you fail in your precious mission.
The Lord will bring it to fulfilment despite your mistakes and missteps, provided that you do not abandon the path of love but remain ever open to his supernatural grace, which purifies and enlightens.

“We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we do, wherever we find ourselves.
In this way, led by God’s grace, we shape by many small gestures the holiness God has willed for us, not as men and women sufficient unto ourselves but rather “as good stewards of the manifold Grace of God”
(1 Pet 4:10).
