The main message is that God calls all Christians to be saints — not plastic statues of saints, but real people who make time for prayer and who show loving care for others in the simplest gestures. The call to holiness is a personal call, something God asks of each Christian and which requires a personal response given one’s state in life, talents and circumstances.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Pope Francis</note> <subject> <topic>Catholic Church -- Holiness -- Perfection -- Christian Life</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">262.91</classification> <classification authority="ddc">FP</classification> <identifier type="isbn">P01216003</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070129.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
