✨ The word holy means “set apart.” When we speak of the holiness of God, we acknowledge His perfection, His majesty, and His complete otherness. “The holiness of God is the inaccessible center of His eternal mystery” (CCC 2809).
No one is like Him. No one compares. His love is holy. His power is holy. His justice is holy. 🙏🏼
✨ This is why the angels never cease to proclaim: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come” (Revelation 4:8). The Church, too, joins this eternal hymn at every Mass in the Sanctus, echoing heaven’s worship (CCC 1352).
⛪️💞 It is significant that holiness is the only attribute of God proclaimed three times in succession. Not love, love, love or just, just, just—but holy, holy, holy. His holiness is the fullness of all His attributes. It is what makes Him infinitely trustworthy, perfectly good, and absolutely worthy of our adoration (CCC 2097).
When we lift our voices in praise and sing Holy, Holy, Holy, we are not merely repeating words—we are joining the unending liturgy of heaven. Creation itself declares His glory, and our souls are reminded that God is not distant, uncertain, or small—He is the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 6:3, CCC 2809). 🙌🏼
So let this truth anchor your heart today. Whatever feels fragile or uncertain in your life, lift your eyes to the One who never changes. He is holy. He is worthy. He is Lord of all. ✝️🛐
