"'I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled.' (Luke 12:29) We have approached the fire of the love of God. Let us allow that fire to burn in our lives. Let us feed the desire to spread that divine fire throughout the world, making it known to all the people around us. They too can experience the peace of Christ and find happiness there. A Christian who lives united to Christ's heart can have no goals but these: peace in society, peace in the Church, peace in his soul, the peace of God which will reach its climax when his kingdom comes."
- St. Josemaria Escriva
Today's Reflection
Does your soul burn for souls? Is it filled with the divine fire of God's love? Pray today for a portion of the burning passion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
