If you are
what you should be, you will set the whole world ablaze!
-St. Catherine of Siena
This
quote goes along nicely with our Advent goals
and
with ultimately fulfilling our missions.
We
are a little bit more than half way through Advent.
This
is when the goals can get rough.
You
forget about them,
pretend
to forget about them,
substitute
them for something easier or more convenient,
or
you have so many Christmas cookies to bake and there is no way your goal is
attainable today.
What
better way to fuel our goals than be offered an amazing visual
of
what our world would look like when are goals are complete?
Same
thing as hanging those jeans that are a size smaller on the back of your door
or
posting a picture of your dream vacation destination.
These
little things help your goals become more attainable
and
you are more motivated to attain them.
If
you are what you should be.
We
are children of God.
We
are called to more.
We
are called to be greater than the standards of this world.
We
are called out.
We
are not of this world.
Called
to spread the Gospel.
Called
to love.
Called
to challenge.
We
are called to be Christ to others.
Called
to hold fast to the teachings of the Church,
even
if or when we do not agree.
Do
all this,
then
we will make headway towards being what we should be.
If
we do,
We
will set the whole world ablaze.
We
will set the world on fire.
We
will excite people about the Holy Spirit just simply by our actions.
We
will teach people about the Church.
We
will show people that they are loved.
We
will teach people the truth.
People
will come flocking to the Church
for
it is Truth.
People
crave truth,
regardless
of how their actions may say otherwise.
People
are in dire need of true love.
Most
of all,
people
crave the Eucharist.
In
the Church they will find Him.
The
whole world will be set ablaze.
Does
this maybe ignite a small little flame underneath your Advent goals?
Go
get ‘em.
Be
who you are supposed to be,
and
you will set the whole world ablaze.
