What comes into your mind when you think of holiness? For most of us, the image will be a negative one! Why is that?

We live at a time when the ultimate put down is being ‘Holier than thou’. It conjures up the image of sanctimonious phoniness or a cold sterile spirituality. An image that we have done all too little to challenge or dispel.

We also live in a generation addicted to technology. Technological advances seem to have invaded the space needed to nurture ‘awe and wonder’.
