Today's lesson deals with holiness. If you look carefully, you will discover it hidden in today's printed text. Now look at the issue another way. A lack of holiness indicates a dearth of love. A grievous moral collapse can be traced to lovelessness.
Impure thoughts go back to a lack of love.
Contamination with the world springs from a lack of love. A tainted witness results from little or no love. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. To learn to be holy, we must first learn to love.
