To be holy literally means to be "set apart for a special purpose or use." (theopedia.com) Thus, all of us, Christians, are called to set our lives apart from the standards of this world. We need to live a life that is consistent to the greatest commandments of the Lord, that is,“to love the Lord, our God, with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds; and to love our neighbors as ourselves." (cf. Matthew 22:37-39) Only by taking these commandments by heart and translating it into action can we truly achieve the Holiness willed by God.
