God’s love is like fire. It purifies, it strengthens, and it consumes whatever we surrender to it. Love like that is scary. It asks everything of us. We live in a world that fears commitment, yet the Holy Spirit invites us to hold nothing back. He wants us to let Him fill every part of our lives.

This is not just for saints or apostles. In our Confirmation, we have already received the fullness of the Spirit. For many of us, that flame is waiting to be stirred into something greater. God’s fire wants to burn in us, and through us, to set the world ablaze.

Let this be our prayer:

Come, Holy Spirit. Make me all fire.
