We must work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We know from both reflection and Our Lord’s own instructions that there is nothing to be gained that is worth more than our own souls. Thus, we must set sanctity as our primary goal in this life, putting it far above all others. Yet at the same time, God is aware of our imperfections. He sees our failings. We see them as well. However, in His wisdom, Our Lord places this lofty goal of sanctification before us with the demand for perfection in order to inspire us to achieve holiness. Moreover, God provides the Church, a repository of grace and healing, to strengthen us on our spiritual journey. We are never left to do it on our own.
