The fire that changes the world
In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus says that he did
not come to bring peace to earth. He came to light a fire.
The fire that he longed for with great anguish was the
presence of the Holy Spirit alive and active within each
of his followers. This is what changes the world. This is
what brings lasting peace, first within us and then flowing
out from us.
The Holy Spirit is a fire that purifies us from impurities -
- the unloving behaviors and attitudes -- that cause dis-
harmony, disunity, conflicts and war. This purification
makes us capable of feeling peaceful even in the midst of
trials and attacks from others. This is what makes us
channels of God's peace in a world that desperately
needs it. If you do not yet feel the fire of the Holy Spirit
impassioning you to spread the peace of Christ, Jesus is
in anguish over you.
Think of the evil around you that you've been wishing
would stop. What does Jesus want you to do about it?
What impurities in your own spirit needs to be burn off
by the fire of the Holy Spirit so you can overshadow the
evil with divine goodness? Look at what Jesus had to do.
What baptism was he talking about? Not the water bap-
tism he'd already received. It was the baptism of painful
self-sacrifice, which he willingly accepted in order to res-
cue us from evil.
To stop evil, we have to become like Jesus. Our willing-
ness to make sacrifices for others is a sign of Christian
maturity. We should be burning with so much love that
we are not happy unless we're pouring our hearts and
souls into works and prayers that to make a difference in
someone else's ability to receive eternal peace.
Jesus noted that this fire divides households. It divides
us from anyone who remains self-centered and unwilling
to make sacrifices that will lead to peace. Nevertheless,
we must continue to give them love. This heats up the
fire within us, which purifies us further. And gradually,
the world changes.
Questions for Personal Reflection:
Who has "burnt" you? What pain has been inflicted on
you by others? See this as happening to Jesus, too. In-
stead of retaliating to try to stop the pain, choose a sacri-
fice that you're willing to make for them. Jesus appreci-
ates the sacrifices you make for others. How does his
appreciation make you feel?
Questions for Family & Community Faith Sharing:
How is it possible to experience peace after making a
sacrifice for someone who is unloving toward you? Give
an example of an everyday sacrifice you've made. How
does the Holy Spirit bring God's kingdom to earth
through this? © 2019 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com. Printed by permission.

From St. Pius X we learn
again that "the folly of the
Cross", simplicity of life,
and humility of heart are
still the high-
est wisdom and the indis-
pensable conditions of a
perfect Christian life, for
they are the very source
of all apostolic fruitful-
ness.
His last will and testament bears the striking sentence: "I
was born poor, I have lived in poverty, and I wish to die
poor." His feast day is August 21.

It's normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one's heart so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness.
