Where is Holiness

  Neither in the cavernous cathedral
    nor in the minister’s glittering vestments

  But in the anguish of the widow
    the outstretched hand of the beggar

  The loneliness of the orphan ~ There
    you will find it, if that is what you truly seek

Holiness is Love meeting a need, for one can only be holy while letting Love flow through them. Thanks for sharing these examples of holiness, gw. Have a pleasant weekend, my friend. BB
