"It All Counts" - The Test of Holiness

The Catholic Experience

In this clip from Episode 38, "Catholic Fairy Tales" (Linked Below) I explain that being true to who God made you to be means prioritizing holiness. Orthodoxy, while important and indispensable, isn't enough, because we son't be judged on it. We'll be judged on our holiness.

God will assess our holiness when we stand before Him, based on your actions and efforts in life—and our failures, too. I draw an analogy with boxing: every experience in training and fighting contributes to who you are in the ring, similar to how every aspect of your life—rising, faulting, trying, succeeding, failing— contributes to the overall picture of you  holiness. Ultimately, at judgment, it's your holiness that counts, determining your fate in heaven, hell, or purgatory.
