Episode 9 -- Abandonment to Divine Providence Bk 1 ch 1.8 -- To Estimate Degrees of Excellence

Can we become holy if we neglect our duties of our state in life? 

No. God first and foremost asks us to be faithful in small things. We have to be faithful in all the responsibilities of our state in life. He will give us special inspirations. He will ask things beyond our normal duties. But we must walk before we can run. Let us be faithful in what our state requires of us. Let us do all these duties with love.
