Do It (Holiness Part 3 of 5)
This is a 5-part series on what it takes to grow in holiness.
We’ve talked about desiring holiness and knowing what to do. Now comes the hardest part: actually doing it.
Wanting to be holy and knowing what we need to do isn’t enough. We need to actually do it.
This is where discipline comes in. You can desire to be humble and know exactly what humility requires—putting others first, not seeking credit, admitting when you’re wrong—but if you don’t actually practice it when the moment comes, it means nothing.
Knowledge without action is just theory. And theory doesn’t make us holy.
Think about prayer. Most of us know we should pray. We know prayer is important. We might even have a plan—morning prayer, decade of the Rosary, whatever it is. But if we don’t actually kneel down and do it, all that knowledge and desire accomplishes nothing.
This is the gap where most of us struggle. We know what we should do. We might even want to do it. But when the moment comes—when patience is required, when prayer time arrives, when humility is tested—we don’t follow through.
We make excuses. We’re too tired. We’ll do it later. Just this once doesn’t matter.
But it does matter. Because holiness isn’t built on intentions. It’s built on actions.
So the question today is simple: What’s one thing you know you should do that you’re not doing?
Do it today.
