Family Reflection Video: Jesus Came to Light a Fire on Earth

Family Reflection Video: Jesus Came to Light a Fire on Earth

inspiration  |  strength and hope

Not all fires are destructive. When Jesus said he came to light a fire on the earth, he was seeking to release the energy of the Holy Spirit in all of us!

In the story of the Road to Emmaus, one of the disciples asks a thoughtful question for us today, “Did not our hearts burn when He was in our presence?” Jesus wants to light the fire within each of us so we can stand up for justice and the rights of all human beings. 

Bring this question to your family … then discuss how each of you welcomes the burning light.

Thank you for visiting us today! May God bless you and your families.

For additional reading: Luke 12:49-53 and St. Paul of the Cross.
