Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Total Commitment to God” – Faith: Jesus proclaimed to His disciples, “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!” Ponder on, “Jesus challenged His disciples to commit themselves ‘radically and be transformed in their lives, by following Him. Is our commitment to live our faith total; or conditional with many excuses?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 12:49-53
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already! There is a baptism I must still receive, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!
‘Do you suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on, a household of five will be divided: three against two and two against three; father opposed to son, son to father, mother to daughter, daughter to mother, mother in law to daughter in law, daughter in law to mother in law.’
