We must be a flame in the darkness, a lamp to our neighbor's feet, a place
where he can warm himself, a place where he can see the face of God. It is to love,
to burn, that we have come together! Our life is senseless if we are here
for any other reason than loving utterly passionately, completely. The
very word "love" implies sacrifice and surrender.

The fire of the Holy Spirit came to the early church and transformed
the disciples. Fire has a way of changing things - a fire burning can
destroy, a fire burning can warm. Bishop Sheen used to say that fire had
two qualities: heat and light. The heat was the zeal, the light was the
truth. We need both to evangelize and spread the good news. We have the
truth in the Gospels, in the Church and in the sacraments. The zeal is
sometimes lessened, though, with the weariness of the struggle and the turns
and hills in the road. The fire of the Holy Spirit needs to be renewed each
day, to keep the fire of love burning brightly.
Mary, you received the Holy Spirit with the disciples. You guided them by
your knowledge of Jesus, and by showing them or reminding them how he would
act. You know him better than anyone because your heart is so pure and
there is nothing in you that will block your love for him. May the fire of
the Holy Spirit burn away the impurities of my heart so I may love him the
way you do!

"Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and
opened the Scriptures to us?" Luke 24: 13-35
The disciples eagerly listened to the stranger who was with
them, and speaking to them... They did not realize who he was at first but
they later knew it was the Lord himself. He spoke to them and their hearts
came alive, hoping that he would speak longer and stay longer with them.
Lord Jesus, raise up for us again a good and holy priests and lay leaders,
men and women who will follow the example of the holy saints and proclaim
the word of the Lord with fire and love. May I too be filled with love for
the sacred word and speak of it with conviction and zeal!
