He is Holy. But what kind of holiness?
St. Jerome was Holy, Saint John Bosco was holy too. But it makes a great difference if Jesus is like St. Jerome than if He is like Don Bosco!
St. Bernadett was holy, so was Moses.
But Jesus's Holiness is like which one?
It is really important for me to know whether I am praying to 'this holiness' or 'that holiness'.

Jesus is God, so His Holiness can never be fathomed. His holiness is infinite - it is so great and limitless that it can not even be measured.

They all partake in His holiness.

They all have different "levels" of holiness, so to speak.

As the God-Man, He IS holiness.

It is like the sun versus a few pieces of mirror that reflect some portion of the sun's light. He IS the light, creatures that are holy are but reflections of His light.

Also, the saints loved Him and served Him with their entire heart and soul, but He is love itself.
