Summary/Abstract: The universal call to holiness means that it is available to everyone without exceptions. The way to holiness includes elements that are shared by all people and is initiated at the moment of being baptized. The call to holiness is closely related to the person of Jesus Christ, with whom a Christian has to remain in a close relationship based on the foundation of love. Apart from common elements, there are also specific tasks, depending on the state of the person. Priests, participating in the triple mission of Christ, have to care for their own perfection, and by their service, to help people on their way to salvation. Similarly, the lay faithful, in a way that is appropriate to them, share in the noble, prophetic and priestly service of Jesus and fulfil their call to holiness in normal life. The above issues will be discussed in detail based on selected documents of the Church.
