Holy Scripture

Leviticus 19:2

A church father on this verse
“To be sanctified is to be drawn away from any love that sullies and corrupts and may lead the soul to ruin. In this must the creature resemble the Creator: "You shall be holy," He said, "because I am holy." This holiness makes one God-conformed. That is why the Seraphic spirits cried out: "Holy, holy, holy."”
Bonaventure, 13th c. — Collations on the Hexaemeron, Collation 2
