Meditations – Details, episodes & analysis

The transformation into Christlikeness is the central theme of this meditation. Through the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, and the purification of our souls, we are called to participate in God’s holiness. By detaching from sin and imitating Christ deeply, not superficially, we journey toward unity with God, embodying His joy and holiness.

Today we are looking at the human person as the subject of holiness (as opposed to animals or plants) — what makes it possible for us to become saints? Why are we elevated, transformed to children of God? What in our essence does that — and what are the consequences of this great honour?

If God calls Himself holy, is it possible for us to also be holy? Are we split into those who are merely saved, and those who are actually saintly? Fr Gavan talks about how holiness is available, for you and for me, if we strive for it.

With the Feast of St Joseph the Worker yesterday, we look at his life, his work and how that relates to us. Joseph the father, the worker, the commuter — what did that look like? Could he cut corners, have miracles worked for him, or was he just like you and me?

The seventh and final deadly sin is sloth, and it's a tricky one being a sin of omission. Not getting up at the first alarm, procrastinating on tasks, not caring about things or people. These things can be sinful or lead us to sin, and it's helpful to watch out for them.
