The guidelines to
lead a life of holiness were given to us some 2000 years ago by Jesus in his
teachings in the gospels, especially in the Sermon on the Mount. A few of these
are enough for anyone to attain holiness.
·
Live like a child. Trust in the Lord and love Him as a
three-year-old trusts its father or mother and loves them. A child never
worries about the future nor cry over the past.
Neither should you.
·
Live in selfless
love. Entertain only positive sentiments like love
and compassion towards everyone. There
should be no place in your heart for negative sentiments like hatred, envy,
anger or even indifference.
·
Forgive. Forgive anyone
who has hurt you or your dear ones and ask forgiveness of any one you have
hurt.
· Be poor in
spirit. Do not be attached to wealth or
material possessions. Be content with
what you have.
·
Remember that whenever you
do something for the poor and needy you are doing it for the Lord.
