Holiness means doing ordinary things with love and faith: Pope

Vatican City, 5 December 2013: In a post on the social media on Thursday, Pope Francis reminded the faithful worldwide that holiness is not doing extraordinary things. The Pontiff wrote on his Twitter account @pontifex: “Holiness doesn’t mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith”.

Earlier on 21 November the Pontiff reflected on a similar theme and wrote: ‘to be saints is not a privilege of the few, but a vocation for everyone’. And two days earlier on 19 November Pope Francis wrote: “The saints were not superhuman. They were people who loved God in their hearts, and who shared this joy with others.”

The Pope now has more than 9 million followers on his Twitter account @Pontifex. The Pope’s English-language handle alone has over 2.8 million followers. The papal tweets are published in nine languages on the micro-blogging website.
