Abstract
This paper researches concisely the biblical and theological meaning of holiness, expressed in faith, love and hope, which leads us to a Marian reading meaningful for the present day believer. It also invites the reader to be in the society a person of faith, assuming it as a gift, aperture, response and fidelity to God; and with the example of Mary opening up to the Word and its dynamicity, which disposes the existence to the meeting with the others in the living experience of love; because love is the “permanent state of a Christian” which activates the joyful expectancy of new human realities, impregnated by the saving action of God in history.
