The universal call to holiness in the Roman Catholic Church is rooted in Baptism , a Sacrament which configures a person to Jesus Christ who is God and man, thus uniting a person with the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity , bringing him in communion with intra-trinitarian life. As John Paul II states in '' At The Beginning Of The New Millennium '', his master plan for the new millennium, a "program for all times", holiness is not only a state but a task, whereby Christians should strive for a full Christian life, imitating Christ, the Son of God, who gave his life for God and for his neighbor. This entails a "training in the art of Prayer ". According to the Pope, all pastoral initiatives have to set in relation to holiness, as this has to be the topmost priority of the Church. The Protestant teaching of the Priesthood Of All Saints is quite equivalent. |
