- "Holiness is not the luxury of a few people,
  but a simple duty for you and me."
  
  - St. Teresa of Calcutta
  
  Are we all supposed to become "saints"?
  - Of Course, at Immaculate Conception we want each of our young men and women to fulfill their baptismal call to be holy, to become saints!
  
  - The purpose of our life is to be united with God in love and to correspond entirely to God's wishes. We should allow God "to live his life in us" (Mother Teresa). That is what it means to be holy: a "saint".
  
  - Every man asks himself the question: Who am I and why am I here, how do I find myself? Faith answers: Only in holiness does a man become that for which God created him. Only in holiness does a man find real harmony between himself and his Creator. Holiness, however, is not some sort of self-made perfection; rather, it is union with the incarnate love that is Christ. Anyone who gains new life is this way finds himself and becomes holy.
  ¿ Debemos todos ser "santos"?
  - Por supuesto, en San Edwardo queremos que cada uno de nuestros jóvenes hombres y mujeres para cumplir su llamado bautismal a ser santo, para convertirse en santos!
  
  - El sentido de nuestra vida es unirnos a Dios en el amor, corresponder totalmente a los deseos de Dios. Debemos permitir a Dios "que viva su vida en nosotros" (Beata Teresa de Calcuta). Esto significa ser "santo".
  
  - Todo hombre se hace la pregunta: ¿Quién soy yo? ¿Para qué estoy aquí? ¿Cómo puedo ser yo mismo? La fe responde que sólo en la santidad llega el hombre a ser aquello para lo que lo creó Dios. Sólo en la santidad encuentra el hombre la verdadera armonía consigo mismo y con su Creador. Pero la santidad no es una perfección hecha a medida por uno mismo, sino la unión con el amor hecho carne, que es Cristo. Quien de este modo logra la nueva vida se encuentra a sí mismo y llega a ser santo.
  
  "As He who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written, "You shall be holy for I am holy."
  
  - 1 Peter 1:15-16
