10361. 'For it is holy to you' means the Source of all the goodness and truth which compose the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'that which is holy' as all that and that alone which emanates from the Lord, dealt with in 9479, 9680, 9820, thus the good of love and the truth of faith since these are what emanate from the Lord. The fact that these compose the Church in the case of men, and heaven in the case of angels, becomes clear from the consideration that love and faith are the essentials of the Church because they join men and angels to the Lord, the good of love causing their will to be joined and the truth of faith their understanding, and so bringing all that is in them into union.
