How can we acquire holiness and discernment?

The answer

God who is holy is the source of holiness. Whoever enters into fellowship with God becomes aware that he is a child of the holy Father, and the Holy Spirit dwells in him to fashion him into a temple for God, and make him a holy member in the body of Christ. All of this is achieved by the free gift of God’s divine grace.
