Sanctum Series Learning Path: LA Congress
Class
The Church on earth is endowed with a sanctity that is real though imperfect. In her members, perfect holiness is something yet to be acquired. Strengthened by so many great means of salvation, all the faithful, whatever their condition or state — though each in one’s own way — are called by the Lord to that perfection of sanctity by which the Father himself is perfect. (CCC, 825) The Sanctum Series is an invitation to perfect holiness. With the goal of turning holiness into one’s way of life, this Series dives into various themes related to Catholic spirituality.
