How to Be Holy: Following God’s Will by the Power of the Holy Spirit (Jn 1:29-34)

Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, and the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. In Jesus, we have forgiveness of our sins and by his life, death and resurrection, and sending of the Holy Spirit he reconciles us to God, bringing us everlasting life by the Holy Spirit. But that Holy Spirit does more than simply justifies (saves) us, its purpose is to also to sanctify us, as we mature, and grow in holiness. But what exactly is holiness and how do we pursue it? This homily gives some practical advice.
