Please:

(1) What characterizes “Holiness” specifically (?)

(2) Members of the Trinity are Holy . . . but what makes them so (?)

(3) The Virgin Mary is apparently Holy . . . but what makes her so (?)

(4) What about canonized Saints – are they Holy (?) If so, why (?)

(5) Are Souls that have completed the process of Purgatory Holy (?) Is that a characteristic of Holiness for human Souls (?)

Thank you.
 
Holiness is fulfilling the will of God in your life.

The Trinity is holy because they are in perfect accord with one another.

The Blessed Virgin and all the Saints are holy because they fulfilled what God had called them to be and do.

Married couples are holy when they live out their marriage vocation in accordance with God’s will for them. Children are holy when they honor their parents and go to school and learn and fulfill what God is calling them to at that stage in their lives. Young adults are holy when they live their lives in accordance with the Gospel’s values.

Holiness is not some abstract philosophical concept but the very real and concrete actions of every day life.
