The fire of charity

There's a passion of ours that must grow from faith, which must be transformed into the fire of charity. Jesus said: I came to cast fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled. (see Luke 12:49) Origen has conveyed us a word of the Lord: "Whoever is near me is near the fire." The Christian must not be lukewarm. ~ Pope Benedict XVI, 10/9/12 Meditation at World Synod of Bishops


Extinguish not the Spirit.  ~1 Thessalonians 5:19
