Welcome to our daily rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

One of the most common excuses we give for not being saints is by acting as though sanctity

is just for people in certain walks of life.

You hear it all the time.

Well, of course.

I'm not a priest or a monk or a nun.

Maybe they can afford to be saints.

Maybe they have time to be saints, but I don't.

We say, well, we have to be balanced. We're mothers and fathers and managers and

employees, and we have lots of responsibilities in the world. So we have to balance holiness with the

rest of the stuff we need to do. But that's not what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Jesus told all his followers to be perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect.

And holiness isn't one thing that you balance with other things.

Holiness is the whole thing.

Holiness is sanctifying your whole life.

Your life as a mother or a father or as the owner of a business or as a professional

or as an employee.

And remember, balance doesn't mean compromise.

And it doesn't simply mean comfort.
