After releasing Gaudete et Exultate, Pope Francis used his twitter account to highlight some key points on holiness:
I wish to repropose the call to holiness: “Rejoice and be glad”. #GaudeteetExsultate https://t.co/cZxmUGpMW7

Being poor of heart, reacting with meekness and humility, knowing how to mourn with others, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, seeing and acting with mercy: that is holiness. #SaintsToday

Keeping a heart free of all that tarnishes love, sowing peace all around us, accepting daily the path of the Gospel, even though it may cause us problems: that is holiness. #SaintsToday

The word “happy” or “blessed” becomes a synonym for “holy”, because those faithful to God, by their self-giving, gain true happiness. #GaudeteetExsultate

Holiness is the most attractive face of the Church. #SaintsToday

Saints are distinguished by a spirit of prayer and a need for communion with God. There is no holiness without prayer. #Holiness

The holiness to which the Lord calls you grows through small gestures in everyday life. #GaudeteetExsultate

We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we do. #GaudeteetExsultate
