Donami un cuore che bruci, (Give me a heart that burns…) G. Giaquinta
July 21, 2011 – Pope Benedict XVI
In the religious history of ancient Israel, great importance was given to the prophets, to their teaching and their preaching. Among them, there emerges the figure of Elijah, who was raised up by God in order to lead the people to conversion. His name means "the Lord is my God," and it is in accord with this name that his life unfolds -- [a life] totally consecrated to bringing about in the people the acknowledgement of the Lord as the one God. Sirach says of Elijah: "Then the prophet Elijah arose like a fire, and his word burned like a torch" (Sirach 48:1). By this flame, Israel rediscovers its way to God.
Oh Lord, may we receive the word like a torch and by this flame follow our way to you! Amen.
