Holiness and Heaven

Holiness is a currency for heaven. If a person wants to reach here, he has to wear the garment of holiness. Otherwise, the entry is rejected. Or more precisely, the person who reaches the gates of heaven—being unqualified—is thrown out into the outer darkness, where there is weeping gnashing of teeth [Mt 22:13].

Imagine what would happen if someone attended a person’s wedding wearing rags and torn clothes. He would meet the same fate as the person in the above paragraph.

Something like heaven

The Church or faithful are collectively, the bride of Christ. Heaven is the wedding banquet or a place of celebration. Wear what befits this great feast.

I’m a writer with a keenness for things that are Catholic. My favourite activity is reading about books that evince curiosity and Saints’ biographies. The world is blessed with books.

About Me

I’m a preacher and share a very close bond with Mother Mary. Being a Freelance Writer and having a Content Writing experience of over 13 years, writing has become a part of my life. Adding sheen to this journey, I have published 4 books: 3 in the Catholic spirituality genre and another award-winning one in self help; it is good to explore different genres. I reside with my immediate family in Bangalore and hope to share wisdom as such with everyone.
