The New Testament talks a lot about "putting on Christ" — but what does that mean? Is it just a bad translation, or is there something we can learn from this phrase? Fr Gavan explains.

We are either growing or declining in virtue — never stagnant. (In fact, stagnation may imply a decline.) So, what are you? Well, look at your actions, especially the habitual ones. Is virtue something that comes naturally, or are there vices you just can't get rid of? Actions have consequences, and, if we don't mend our ways, sometimes lasting ones that shape our entire character.

The dynamics of holiness: how do we become holy in practice? When a person is elevated in Baptism, when they receive sanctifying grace, they are not automatically holy or, indeed, automatically guaranteed Heaven. Faith without works is dead. By their fruits we shall know them.

Today we are looking at the human person as the subject of holiness (as opposed to animals or plants) — what makes it possible for us to become saints? Why are we elevated, transformed to children of God? What in our essence does that — and what are the consequences of this great honour?

If God calls Himself holy, is it possible for us to also be holy? Are we split into those who are merely saved, and those who are actually saintly? Fr Gavan talks about how holiness is available, for you and for me, if we strive for it.

Have you ever laughed at the idea of becoming a canonisable saint? Sure, it's hard to imagine, but as Catholics it should be our ambition. Father looks at holiness in the Bible, theology and the history of the Church — exploring what it is and how we can attain it.

With the Feast of St Joseph the Worker yesterday, we look at his life, his work and how that relates to us. Joseph the father, the worker, the commuter — what did that look like? Could he cut corners, have miracles worked for him, or was he just like you and me?

The seventh and final deadly sin is sloth, and it's a tricky one being a sin of omission. Not getting up at the first alarm, procrastinating on tasks, not caring about things or people. These things can be sinful or lead us to sin, and it's helpful to watch out for them.
