Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary.
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son
and a son against his father,
a mother against her daughter
and a daughter against her mother,
a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” Lk 12:49-53
Jesus uses powerful words today. “I have come to set the earth on fire” and “I did not come to bring peace but division.”
This is hard to understand. Don’t forget the power of fire in our physical and spiritual world. In our physical world, many forests and homes have been destroyed due to fire. In our spiritual world at Pentecost the fire of the Holy Spirit came down on our first followers, the disciples, and today through us to build something new.
This is the fire Jesus can’t wait to unleash on the world, a dysfunctional family in His eyes. The division He is speaking of is a world that once had no future. There is no hope in a fallen world, only dysfunction, and no direction or purpose. I think of it as a burning field of weeds and brush that must be burned to create new growth so everything can come to live in it. Jesus came to bring the human family hope. He came to bring all of the dysfunction in us a rightly ordered life and rightly ordered worship. He came to give us purpose and mission.
Now, in this time and place, we have a decision to make. We can die to ourselves, our fallen human nature/flesh, worldly goods, and put on Christ to defeat the devil. It is extremely difficult to enter heaven because dying to ourselves and doing the Will of God is tough. It requires a lot of searching and wrestling with God. It requires daily prayer and reading the Scriptures. It requires fasting and telling ourselves no. So, why do it? God wants us to be back with Him forever. He desires a friendship with His Creation. The joy we receive from a rightly ordered life and more importantly spending the rest of our lives in the glory of God is so powerful it looks beyond the hardship.
Christ, too, saw this wonderful glory of heaven while on His journey through His Passion and Death. He knew well it would be all worth it. Do you believe? Are you ready to start fighting with your whole heart, soul, mind and will? Eternal life depends on it.
Today’s challenge: Look at the big picture and where your life fits into salvation history now. Reflect on the decisions you have made in the past and how they have formed you today to be who you are. Your future depends on your will and God’s grace. What do you need to change? Seek and you will find. Never give up. Believe.
Be a servant, become a saint!
#Christian YOLO
I CAN SET THE WORLD ON FIRE TOO! JUST YOU WAIT!!!
Peace will not fully happen there will always be division between people. That is why we need Jesus so he can guide us in the corrects dirrection.
God came to Earth to set the world on fire with the spirit. He came to enspire. He wished that the wolrd was already on fire with the faith. Don’t wait untill later or the second coming for God wishes us to be on fire with the faith before he comes. We never know he could come now he could come in 100,000,000,000,000 years we don’t know be ready.
I think that this Gospel spoke out to me because Jesus wants the world to be in the Holy Spirit. He means to set the world on fire with the Holy Spirit. Like Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came down upon the apostles. Therefore Jesus wants all of the world to be set on fire with the Holy Spirit and preach the Gospel like the Apostles.
I can apply this to my life by being more peaceful, and praying more often for the world to be more peaceful. Christ died for our sins so why do we sin when we know that he died for us.
The gospel today is kind of scary. In today’s world, everything’s divided. Whether it’s because of the color of someone’s skin, someone’s political party, the languange someone speaks, and everything in between. I think that most of us really just want everyone to get along, and for the world to be peaceful. But Jesus says the opposite. He tells us that families will be divided, and that he’s come to set the world on fire. But things are always going to be divided in some way. Even after we die. Some people will go to hell, others to heaven, and even more to purgatory. Jesus is telling us that we have to choose which side of the division we’re on in our faith. Either we’re for or against him, there’s no ‘on the fence’.
The path is a hard one, sometimes we will have to leave people behind and it will hurt. We must enjoy those moments and look forward to being in Heaven with God.
I can apply this to my life by praying to God and by looking at the big picture so I can truly find where I fit in salvation history
This passage reminds me that we need to be on fire with God’s love and turn to Him when we are not only in need of help but in times of happiness and thanksgiving. Many of us only look to God when they need something of him and that is not how you form a good relationship with the Lord. Also we are to remember that if we do not believe fully that Jesus can help us and grant our knock at His door than we will not recieve that miracle because we are not all in. We need to be fully dependant on the Lord and surrender our lives to Him.
This is about how God knows we can get through anything as long as we follow his word. He knew what would happen but he stil thought it was worth it.
What I took away from this is that God is trying to be your friend, but you need to accept him.
We need to fight our temtation to commit sins. We need to make up for our past sins.
If you belive in God then you will burn with the holy spirit.
I can apply this to my life by knowing that God is not gonna divide us by anything but what we choose for ourselves. My will be done and Thy will be done.
In today’s scripture, Jesus is saying he has come to set the world on fire and cause division. While this is happening in our world toay, literally, I think he meant it spiritually. At the time that Jesus said this, Jesus came and caused a lot of division and really set the world on fire; When the disciples spread the good news, the fire of Jesus was everywhere. The fire of Jesus is in everyone today and we need to use it to be who God made us to be.
One thing that i can take away from this scripture passage is to trust what God has in store for me. It is a hard gospel to understand so another thing that I can take away from this is to keep learning about the bible and my faith so that I can know it, and Jesus better so that I can get to heaven.
Jesus has filled us with the Holy Spirt through Baptism. The Holy Spirit is within us and we must fight for our faith.
Today the Scripture tells us that Jesus wants to set the world on fire to make a newer, more perfect world. The existing world is full of flaws: war and violence. Jesus also wants us to be friends with Him. We have a chance everyday to be friends with Him by reading the Bible. Today I’m going to try to be friends with Him.
Wow… I can use this passage to realize that I share the gospel more.
In the scripture passage, Jesus says, “I have come to set the world on fire” and that he had come to bring “division rather than peace.” I think when Jesus says that he has come to set the world on fire, he is putting a spark in the wolrd. He gives us something to live for, something to follow and something to give us motivation to keep going. If we had only peace in the world then why would we need to do anything in life? With only peace then why even bother living? Jesus gives us purpose in life, and by doing so he allows us to better ourselves in hopes of reaching Heaven.
Something that came to me while reading this scripture is that Jesus wanted to change the world. Jesus did not want to live a normal life. Jesus wanted to be able to leave this Earth and see all of the good things that He has done. I feel like today we need this more than ever because the way the world is right now, we need some people to step up and change the world.
I read the Gospel, and I was surprised. I peered at the lines, and two of them had my attention. “I have come to set the earth on fire,” he says to us, who’d never heard of such saying, “and how I wish it were already blazing!” These lines hooked me. The Gospel is the words tugging at my sleeve, and whispering in my ear. Now we all understand that this is the Holy Spirit, I can garuntee it to you, and Jesus mentions that he had come to set the world on fire. Ground the thought to a line we can comprehende, you would fiddle and tweak it down to this thought: Jesus is bringing the Holy Spirit to us all.
I can apply this to my life by praying to God to understand what he is trying to get me to do. Jesus wants to set our world on fire with knowing about him and how to pray.
Jesus came down upon us to open our minds and to se the beauty and grace he gives us. And the freewill we have to follow God and use the grace he gives up to get to Heaven.
In this gospel I cmae out of it wanted to spread the gospel because you don’t know if that one personn you tell them about Jesus could change their lives forever.
Jesus wants us to follow HIm even if it will be a tough descion. He will set the world on fire and those who will follow him we be granted a life in heaven with the Father. We have to understand that we need God’s love and grace to get into Heaven.
Jesus says today in the Gospel that he came to this earth to set our heart on fire with the love of God. We have so many people in our life that we can talk to he mentioned everyone in the Gospel today. He loves us so much that we need to reflect on what he did in the world and pray and talk to him daily. We can tell him anything and he want make fun of us or put us down he will lift us up and make us haooy again and forgive us so we can live a life and not have that on us forver. He loves us so we need to love him so much back.
Jesus is trying to make us be warriors for christ, he wants us to spread his name all over. He is also trying to make us understand that peace is only through him and God.
There is always division among people, but Christ can bring us together. He gives us something to live for, something to work towards. Everyday we make a choice to welcome him into our lives.
jesus has come to divide the world. On Jugdment day Jesus will divide us, Heaven or hell. God has said, “You are either with me, or you are against me.” We must choose.
Jesus is saying that in order to creat new people you have to light a new fire in your heart and in the world. We need divison to bring peace in the end.
When Jesus says “I have come to set the world on fire”, and “I have come to bring division, not peace” I think that this means that in a world full of war and hatred, he will come and give us a spark of new life and love for God. This may be hard to understand at first, as it was for me, but now I believe that if you are dealing with hatred or anything else in your home life, Jesus has come to help you overcome those troubles.
Jesus wanted to bring divison, not peace. We should bring peace. Jesus wants to set you on fire with the holy spirit, but we have to be open to it.
Jesus wanted to change the world, he wanted to set it on fire. He wanted to change the way we live. All of our decisions have an outcome, if we lose something or someone, then it may allow us to grow and keep running. It could also stop us, but what I think Jesus was talking about is he wanted to divide some of us so we can grow new seeds. Jesus just wants to make us all better people.
I can apply this scripture to my life by praying more often and praying with meaning. I can pray for peace and for the holy spirit to guide
me to do what is right.
In today’s scripture Jesus says “I have come to set the earth on fire.”. He also said that he didn’t come to bring peace, but division. This is a little hard for me to understand but I think the Lord is trying to tell us that He is trying to set a fire in our soul. And I think He is bringing division by seperating us in Heaven and Hell. If we do not listen and head His words, we may get divised into the wrong group. We need to learn to let the Holy Spirit and the Lord into our hearts before it is to late.
Jesus says “I have come to set the world on fire.” It is now our turn to set the world on fire. We must listen to the call to be missionaries. And at some points we will have to deal with the division. Not necessarily with our family, but with anybody that disagrees with us in general.
I can apply this to my life by reflecting on my past to create a better future. Just thinking about who I want to be and what I want to be known as can make me predict my future. Will I be helping the Church in my future, or will I be someone who won’t believe in God’s Word? Jesus tells us that He is going to divide the wrold and make it dysfunctional. He wants us to create an inner peace with others, so there won’t be war and arguments. The world is currently fighting about race, politics, skin color, and lots more. This is the reason why we should go to God, and pray to Him to help the world find its peace. By doing this, I am asking for a good future.
Jesus is saying he wants our souls to be set on fire with the Holy Spirit.
i can apply this to my life by being more peacful, and praying to God everyday.
I can reflect on this because I can tell in the passage how passionate Jesus is that we follow him to heaven. By setting the world on fire he is giving us all the Holy Spirit. Jesus tells us that we will be against each other brother against father and mother against daughter. This tells me that no one likes fighting their family. And like fighting our family and being divided, we are sent to heaven while our other loved ones are sent to hell. And like how you don’t want to fight your family, we should help them come closer and closer to Jesus and bring them to the gates of eternal happiness.
I can aply this to my life by being more humble and peacful. Every one should let the holly spirit fill there hearts. Everyone needs to share the gospel don’t just read it and be done spread it.
I can apply this to my life by speaking up against those who a treated wrongly and unfairly. People of our generation are seperated if they aren’t apart of the “norm”. If people stick out or are different people judge and push them out of society. Everyone is made in Gods image and Is perfect in everyway.
We need to stop treating our life like we can do anything without consquences. Thats how some treat their lives, thats how a lot of people treat their holy lives. Jesus could be here any second and all the people who still have mortal sin on them will perish. We need to start spending our lives like if we died randomly, that our heart, mind, and soul will get to heaven.
How I can reflect on this Scripture is because Jesus wanted to set the world on fire with the Holy Spirit like Pentacost and right now we really need the Holy Spirit in our life.
God wants to set the world on fire with his love for his creation and he wants to forgive us everytime we sin because he wants us to follow him and he wants us to know how much he truly cares for us.
What I took away from this scripture was that when Jesus said that he’ll set the world on fire I interpreted as he will bring grace onto us.
jesus says that he wants to have the whole world full of the Holy Spirit and i can apply this to my life by being closer and trying to get to know God better than i do now
i can impy this to my life by being humble. Jesus wanted to set the world on fire. Invite the Holy spirit, let them fill the hearts.
I can apply this to my life by being more respectful to other people and treat them as I would treat my own family or as I would treat my friends because you never know what would happen if you didn’t treat them with respect and it came back to haunt you some day.So if you’re reading this take it into consideration.
I think the scripture is telling us that God is setting a fire on the world, the holy spirt, I think when hes talking aout division, hes talking about division between heaven and hell, Jesus or the devil, so what i think he means is that we cant be on the fence about God you can only be divided into one.
Jesus really didn’t enact division amongst us, we did it. We as persons chose to either become believers or non-believers and that divided the household of man kind into two. Father against son, son against father. Through this division we will find true inner peace in heaven with God.
if we believe in God, we will burn with the Holy Spirit. And, if we don’t we will be divided against one another or we believe and we are united together against the devil.
In today’s scripture Jesus is telling us that he divided the world so we could choose one side. And he wants us to choose to be with not forced.
God was trying to make peace in the world but instead we ignored him.
I can apply this to my daily life by not getting so worked up about certain things because everything will be alright. Also it tells me that I need to pray and read the scripture more if I want to get to Heaven. If I want to get to Heaven I have to excel the standerds not just meet them and be under them.
Today the scipture tells me that I need to not worry about todays world, but to worry about the world that is to come. I shouldn’t worry about the awefulness of this world but to look forward to everlasting life with him, I should be a friend to everyone if I want to make it there.
God was trying to make peace in the world but instead we ignored him. We need to start talking to him.
Jesus’ comming is not to bring peace, but to teach us the way. In my opinion, I don’t think there is a way to bring complete peace to this world. We humans are to selfish to always be aware of the people around us. No one is perfect, meaning this world can’t be perfect.
I AM GOING TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE, BECAUSE JESUS IS IN ME.
In this scripture passagae, Jesus said that he wants to set the world on fire. By saying this, he means on fire with the Holy Spirit. He wants us to love him so badly. I can apply this scripture passage to my life by living with the Holy Spirit through me. I can do that by trying to be kind to others, and to not complains, no matter how hard things can feel.
Jesus said, “I have come to set the earth on fire,” We need to set the world on fire. By reading his words and teachings, by spreading the word of God to our family and friends, by truly believing, even when it might be hard. These all are things we can do to set the world on fire.
This scripture is deffinity one that is hard to understand. To me when he said that he would “turn the mother on the daughter and the dughter on the mother,” I think this meant that that we are either believers or non belivers, it is up to us. Jesus has given us all the tools we need to succed so we need to make a difference.
Today in the scripture it is saying that Jesus came down so he could set our heart on fire with the love of God. in our life we have so many people we can talk to and he mentioned evryone in that gospel today. God loves us so much and we need to reflect on that and speak to him daily wether that is is prayer or just speaking to him spiritualy.If we get pushed down o rmade fun of or we and so emotionally drained he will lift us up and give us the holy spirit so we can get up and live our life. He loves us so much so we need to show him that we love him to.
He came down from heaven and left a mark on earth.
I can use this in my life. I need to bring God into my life more and more. I also need to fight the temptation of sin if I come my way.
Jesus is saying that he wants to set the world on fire with faith and love. He wants us to also set the world on fire with our faith
Jesus is saying that he will fix all souls and bless them and he wished that all the souls were already fixed
One thing I can take from this is trust God more what he has for me as life goes on. I can aslo start and try harder than before and stop giving up when I dont need to.
I think Jesus is saying that he is like a fire. He is saying that His word spreads like fire. He is also saying he did not come to just bring peace into thee world and that not everything will have peace
I can apply this scripture to my life by trying to bring more peace wherever I go and to spread the word of God, so I can set the world on fire.
In the beginning, God was calling out to set the world on fire with the Holy Spirit which he wishes he already has. Later He was talking about how people will be divided. I think he means that there will be challenges that you will come across and you will be divided from others but God says He wants that so you will stick with your faith on not lose grip.
I can apply this to my life by being more calm when im angry and praying more often in life than i am now for meals and before class and bed
This scripture is telling me to be like the apostles because they spread the word and the Holy Spirit to other people. I can spread fire to the world by telling people about the good news.
In todays scripture it is kind of talking about the world because people are being divided by the color of their skin, language, for anything that people can come up with to divide themselves from someone else just because they are different. And it is sad to think that this is the world we live in.
Jesus used this message as the Holy Spirit coming down on us and to live with the Holy Spirit within us and to trust in God because with God you can do all things. This gospel is also talking about peace, the Holy Spirirt brings peace inside us while within us.
This scripture is telling me to be like the apostles because they spread the word and the Holy Spirit to other people. I can spread fire to the world by telling people about the good news and the gospel.
even though it may be hard we need to set a fire in our soul
Jesus is telling us that we need to get ready for the second coming and judgment day so we can spend eternity with Him, instead of in Hell with our sin.
Today I am going to try my best to not do my will but Gods will. I will do this by not getting on my phone when I get home but instead reading my bible.
I think it means that Jesus is going to come and set the earth on fire with the Holy Spirit. Because in the Bible The Holy Spirit is a tongue of fire. Also that He will light a fire within us and our souls to spread the gospel and send forth the Holy Spirit to the non Catholics and help all of his children get to heaven.
We can’t live in peace without God. We need Him. He will be awaiting us until we can finally meet him. For, now we should live humble, and love one another and preach God’s Word.
Jesus is telling us today that He’s going to set the world on fire. He says he is not going to bring peace, but division. I think that when He says this he means that He wants to give us a purpose of what we need to do in a fallen world. I can apply this to my life by spreading the faith like the apostles.
I think that we could apply this Gospel to our lives today in many ways. The one that comes to my mind first has to do with evangelization. Evangelization is when someone publicly preaches the gospel in hopes of converting someone to Catholocism. If we are all evangelists then all of the people of the world would have someone they know that is an evangelist. If one Catholic is a little candle then if everyone was an evangelist then the whole world would be on fire.
When Jesus says “I have come to set the earth on fire” to me it kind of sounds like Jesus wants the world to go into war but, I was also thinking since the Holy Spirit comes in fire. So it sounds like Jesus wants to fill the earth with the Holy Spirit.
What I took from today’s Gospel is that God wants us all to be with him, but he gives us free will to choose what we want to do. When He says “I have come to set the earth on fire”, I think that this means He wants to send the Holy Spirit upon us. It will not be an easy path to get to heaven, and we always have to make difficult decisions, but in the end it will be worth it. There won’t ever be a world of peace, but we need to try to work around it and make the best of it. We should try to be like Christ and be loving and forgiving, instead of putting eachother down. God wants to meet us all in Heaven but it is up to us to make the right decision.
In this Gosepl, I hear Jesus say, “I have come to set fire to the world, and how I wish it were alreaday blazing.” This speaks to my life by the way He says, “How I wish it were already blazing.” That phrase is interpreted, in my heart, to this: How I wish my children already loved me and knew me. He knew us and loved us from the very beginning, and He wishes that we truly knew Him. He wishes that we were already in Heaven, where the ultimate fire burns. The only reason we’re not in Heaven with Him is because He wants us to earn it. Not just have it handed to us on a sliver platter, but to earn it. He wants us to help find His lost sheep, that is what we are called to do today. What a great honor to be allowed to serve a GOD. You hear about all the greek myths, about Zeus, Aphrodite, Posideon. You hear about how everyone throws themselves at the idols’ feet. If they show that much respect to a FAKE GOD, then why don’t we show even more respect to a REAL GOD? God loves you and wants you to get to Heaven, the thing He hates most of all is losing us. Everyday, someone is sent to the horrible place of Gehenna (hell). So what is God telling you and I, in this Scripture today? It’s simple, He is telling you this: “I love you, I let Myself die in the most exrcuiating way for you. To show you how much I love you. Remember this always, I will never stop fighting for you and will always find My way back to you. I, your Father, love YOU.
I can use this in my life because it showed me that my decisions take over my life. It spoke to me because it made me think that my decisions take a toll on my life.
I think this means to go with god even though it will not change our lives now and to suffer now. however, God will make our lives thousands of times better in the afterlife in heaven if we follow god now.
I beileve Jesus is saying that he has not come to give salvaiton to non believers, but to divide them and make them choose between the world and christ
This is telling me that people are too addicted to their phones and electronics. They don’t see god write in front of them.
I can apply this scripture to my life by praying more and talking to God more. I think that God trying to get us to spred his grace around the world more. I think that the scripture is saying that God is going to set a spirt in every ones heart and egnight them with his grace.
God wants the us to live with the Holy Spirit. Also we need to set a fire in our soul even if it might be hard.
I thinkt that what he is saying is the Holy Spirit is the fire that He wants to set the world on fire with, and nothing will ever have a perfect peace so we need the Holy Spirit and we also need Him.
In today’s scripture, it shows that we cannot live without God. We will always be divided even with God. He doesnt want that and I don’t want that so we need Him to be in our lives to make things better.
I think this means that God will come down here again and when he does he will seperate who is needed to be seperated from the ones who were clean and spiritual and not the people that hide behhind a cloak and say they are clean minded.
There is always a division in the world. God setting a fire in the earth is like the Holy Spirit setting a fire within us. We need the Holy Spirit’s guidance in order to get ourselves on the right path to Heaven.
In today’s Gospel Jesus came down from Heaven on earth and set the world on fire. This means to me that he wants to send down the Holy Spirit down on us.
Today scripture is about Jesus saying he will send the Holy Spirit upon us
I think that this Gospel is trying to tell me that we can not live in peace without God. And when He says, “I have come to set fire to the world, and how I wish it were already blazing,” I think it means that He will come, and bring the Holy Spirit with Him, and together they will light a fire in us and in our souls to spread the word of God, and to also bring us peace.
I think that this is tellling me that Jesus is more important than anything, so you might have to go through division to stand for Jesus.
Jesus is telling us a message, “I have come to set the earth on fire.” This is not the destruction type, but an encounter with the Holy Spirit. This is telling me He is going to bring down the Holy Spirit on the world. That we may grow closer to him. When He says, “Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.” He is not trying to break us apart but to bring the world hope for the years to come.
Jesus says he wants to set the world on fire. He wants to set the world ablaze with the Holy Spirit. This scripture gets confusing right after that. It says,
“Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three.”
and then it continues talking about how the household will be divided. I think this means not everyone will make it to heaven, and not everyone will ever believe in Chatholicism. You have to stay strong and fight for your faith. Become Missionarries spreading the word of God. Mr. Geortz taught us that we can still be missionarries in our homes and schools aven though we can’t travel the country like the Saints did. We need to be burning with the power of God and influence others. Have you ever beem around someone who is always smiling and laughing? It makes you want to laugh along with them right? When you have possitive vibes it attracts others to you. If you have the Fruits of the Holy Spirit you will be the person people like to be around. Jesus attracted crowds of people. Think of the feeding of the 5000. That wasn’t even including women and children!
Today in the gospel this one quote stuck out to me: “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! The reason why this stuck out to me was because when Jesus said that he would had come to set the earth on fire I imediatly thought about all of the wildfires that have happened. I have idea why I thought about that but I did but when I thought of that I thought about the suffering of Jesus. The reason why I thought about that was because whenever there is a fire there are a lot of people that suffer greatly. Whenever I see people suffering greatly I think about Jesus and the suffering he went through for us to go to Heaven. Then the second half part of what Jesus said reminded me of mass. It reminded me of mass because whenever I see the Eucharist being consicrated I think of it as the world being set on fire.
One thing that i can take from this gospel is to pray for my family and other families so then no family, no matter how big or how small, will be divided
For me this means that God is calling down the Holy Spirt and giving everyone the Holy Spirt as doves fly through the air
Today’s gospel scared me at first because he said that he was going to lite the world on fire. But now as i am looking around the world is not on fire, but divided. This gospel reminded me of some things that happend in my life that i shall not say.
to understand what god is trying to say and explain what his is saying and share the goshpel more and tell everyone that god is amazing and you should do more to understand him
thsi told me that we are all supposed to spread the faith he wants us to be the match to light the world on fire to spread the faith .
I heard that Jesus said to his deciples, “I have come to set the world on fire, and how I wish it were blazing!” I believe he is telling us that we can be better Catholics by praying to God and reading the Bible even more and that the Holy Spirit would spread even more to make the world start blazing.
I love the lines, “I have come to set the world on fire, and how I wish it was already blazing.” I love this because in the upcoming confirmation that is what he is doing. kindling the fire of the holy spirit inside me. and I feel ultra-special that Jesus, the literal most important person in the universe, is calling me to light a fire in others through my own conformation. I love that Jesus wants to set us on FIRE, a fire of love, and passion, a fire of peace, hope, and love, a fire that gives us the power to live in Christ Jesus forever.
Jesus is telling us today that the earth is not are home. Earth is where we decieded to go to heaven. Or stay down on earth which is hell.
I can apply this to my life by praying more often and having silence with God everyday. God came to this earth to set our hearts on fire. When i see someone thats feels lonely or just needs someone to talk to i should go and help them and talk to them those little things would just make them feel happier.
God lets there be devision between people so that when we stop dividing ourselves it will be even better. If we were never divided then nothing would be very different in the end. We have to be devided to come together.
What this scripture is telling me is that God came on earth to be the good fire in our life.He will spread faith and love all over with his fire.We as catholics need to know that God is not just a “someone” he died on teh cross fro us and sacrificed his life for us.We may chose to do bad decisions but God always loves us and we just need to talk to him and spread his word.
I can appply this Scripture to my life today by trying harder to fight for Jesus. He wants us to come to Him and like in the Scripture, He wants to “set our world on fire”. I need to put down my Life for Jesus and hive everything to Him. We should all strive harder to be with Him and truley want Him.
“I HAVE COME TO SET THE EARTH ON FIRE”I feel like Jesus is telling me that I am in the presence of God, but I am too distracted to realize. I can apply this to my life by stoping letting myself get distracted so easily from the reason I am here. I am here to do God’s will and that is all. I need to start trying harder to understand what God’s will is, so I can fufill it. I also need to just let Him talk. When I pray I do too much of the talking. I need to stop sharing everything God already knows with Him and let Him talk to me.
I could apply this to my life by Maybe not arguing as much with my Family but there will always be a part of division between family and I think he wants us to control that a little bit more by trying as much as you can to not argue with them.
I can apply this to my life by letting God in my life more. I need to trust more in Him. He said He came to set the world on fire and fill us all with the holy spirit. But it’s our job to let him and to have faith in him.
When Jesus says I have come to set the world on fire, my first thought was “what?” But, then I thought about it. During the Pentacost, tounges of FIRE appeared over the diciples heads. Jesus does things that kyou won’t understand until later on. That is what He just did. So, the tounges of fire was sent by the holy spirit, so posibly he also ment to set the world with the holy spirit.
So, when Jesus says I wish it were already blazing, to me, it was like he was saying that he wished everyone would follow him and to become holy. He wanted us to follow him and to be a better person. So, that is what I will do.
