“I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!" (Luke 12: 49).
Thursday of the 29th week in Ordinary Time is the feast of St Anthony Mary Claret, Bishop (1807 - 1870). As Archbishop of Santiago, Cuba, he fought for social justice for the slaves. Back home in Spain, Bishop Anthony led a revival in Spain. He founded in 1849 the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, popularly known as the Clarentians.
Our key Scripture evokes the memory of St Catherine of Siena:
"Be who you are and you will set the world on fire." (St Catherine of Siena).
"I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!" (Luke 12: 49).
Do you know who you are? I mean as God sees you? How did Jesus and the saints set the world on fire?
Not all of the saints who set the world on fire are first class brain; not all are great orators, philosophers or teachers. But all of them found out who they were created to be. They knew their creator, Redeemer and Savior. They knew they could do nothing without the Christ who promised them His strength always and everywhere.
Christian, know who you are!
