“The call to sanctity is an invitation to friendship
with God. It is a call that transformed the lives of the saints into gifts to
the One who loved them into being. The invitation to holiness is a lifelong
call to draw closer to God, who wants nothing more than to encounter us as the
people we are and the saints we are meant to be.”—James Martin, S.J., My Life With the Saints (2006)

way without you, is an integral part of sanctity.”—Fr. Ronald Knox, Pastoral Sermons and Occasional Sermons (1940)
