  1 - if it&apos;s incompatible with holiness, get rid of it<br>2 - pray, fast and almsgiving<br>3 - live the sacramental life of the Church<br>4 - be patient with god, we don&apos;t make ourselves holy

  &quot;We don&apos;t make ourselves holy, God does that.&quot; &nbsp;Thank you Father Mike!

  As an alcoholic, that analogy makes total sense. &nbsp;I would never keep alcohol in my house. &nbsp;I need to do the same with degenerate media, toxic people and practice regular fasting and prayer.

  When I read a book about St Therese of Child Jesus, for the first time in my life I said to myself, Oh I want to be a Saint! BEFORE I read that book, being a Saint is something impossible for me, WHILE AND AFTER reading that book, Oh boy, there is HOPE for me. With the grace and mercy of God, I can be a saint. I also heard somewhere that God would be sad if we only aim for purgatory, He wants us to be saints!

  &quot;We don&apos;t make ourselves holy. God does -- He&apos;s the one who does it...Lord, I trust you, in your time, I&apos;m just simply showing up and I&apos;m simply saying Yes.&quot; Good one, Fr. Mike😊👍

  Your will be done in your time, not mine, Lord.

  I&apos;m working toward Sainthood. &nbsp;Not wishing for it but working hard toward making it happen. God love you for bringing this to our attention. I have a long way to go, and much to do. God Bless. Claire.

  As a child in the 60&apos;s a Priest, at a talk, asked &apos;how many of us were saints&apos;. &nbsp;No hands went up! &nbsp;Father then explained, in the Apostles Creed, we are parts of the Communion of Saints!<br>We are part of the Church Militant!!!!<br>We have to work at becoming Church Triumphant and spending some time in the Church Suffering! &nbsp; Your Talk brings that all back to me. Thank you, Fr. Mike.... God Bless !!!!

  A friend&apos;s mom passed away today. He said when he and his sister wanted to pray the Lord&apos;s Prayer, she could not remember the words and had to look them up. Let&apos;s pray for those so far from becoming a saint. They know, but have fallen.
