We need to make a difference in the world, where God’s Word is not accepted, unloved, is still rejected. We need to continue touching  this world and burning with the burning fire of God’s divine love.

“I came to cast fire upon the earth, and would that it were already kindled!” (Luke 12:49).

Today Jesus tells us what His mission among us: “I came to cast fire upon the earth” (Luke 12, 49). The longing of the Master’s heart is that this fire had already spread that this fire already kindled in every corner of the Earth.

Let me tell you something: the Christian needs to be burned by this fire from on high, by this fire of God, which is the Holy Spirit. First thing: the fire of God burning inside and out, burning our sins; those burning desires that often are within us and do not belong to Him., while He ignites our soul and our hearts so that we have a new taste for the things of God, a taste for His Word, one like the Eucharist, like doing good for others.

We need this fire from above! As we need every day to be baptized in the fire of this spirit, everything ignited. We need, my brethren, to be the spark this fire where we are. We need to burn – with the love of God – our home, our family, our work, our schools, society and the world in which we live. Unfortunately, there are many extinguished Christians, there are many Christians who have a “ember” that needs to be lit, but is almost out, almost no leaves or smoke.

How we need to be burned in the day by this fire of God’s heart, and to be consumed by love, by the desire to do good to others, to help our brother or sister,  to be generous!

We need to be burned by the desire to hear the Word of God and practice-it! Let me tell you something: when we are burned by this fire we become the top cause of division. Yes, Jesus Himself tells us this: “I came to bring division” (Luke 12.51). Split is just that: not to get off the side of the fire! We live in a world where some do not know the fire of God, others knew and let the flame go out.

We need to make a difference in the world, where God’s Word is not accepted, unloved, is still rejected. We need to continue infecting this world and burning with the burning fire of God divine.

Light this fire in your home, this flame is to access the love of God! Burning those around us and ourselves. This means cutting out what is not of God and to shine through loving actions, words and attitudes. Do not just say a lot of beautiful and catchy words about Jesus if your heart is not infected and burned by this desire to live intensely the life of God in us.

God bless you!
