Holiness is often seen as a state unattainable by the ordinary person and reserved for some spiritual elite, or at least for those who have a special vocation in the Church. However, the teaching of the Church is very clear that each one of us is called by God to sanctity. But what is sanctity, and how is it to be attained? In this book, the effort is made to illuminate the central reality of all holiness, its inner core. And when this reality begins to shed its light, we realize that holiness is not a human accomplishment, a state of self-attained virtue and autonomy, but simply a state of childlike receptivity to our loving Father, a state of communion with Christ...the state of loving intimacy with the Trinity who dwells within us. It is nothing but the loving and trust-filled openness of a little child who knows that he or she is infinitely loved, and so can welcome the gift poured forth unceasingly by such a loving God, and can surrender entirely into his embrace in return. This state of intimacy, lost once through sin but restored within us through God's pure gift, is a wellspring of abiding peace and joy, which nothing can take away.
