To Cast Fire

"I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!" (Lk 12: 49).  Frightening words from "the Prince of Peace."! Yet,  Jesus speaks with passion about what it needed to make his message of love and forgiveness spread.  The old ways of selfishness, pleasure, power and wealth-seeking must go, must be burned out of existence, as a farmer clears a field of brambles and saplings before plowing it and sowing seed. Love is the fire that the world needs, that we as individuals need.  Jesus is LOVE and his heart burns with love for us and with the passion he has for us, to love us, he wants to purify us as gold and silver are purified in the furnace.Such purification will be painful, but in the end, there is is no greater joy than to have our names engraved on the burning heart of Jesus. Let us welcome the fire, let us spread the fire, let us do it today!
