Today the Holy Spirit is asking us to take an x-ray of our hearts. How much are we filled with a healthy zeal for Christ's Kingdom? Can we truly call ourselves mission-driven Christians?
How much have we let ourselves be bullied by a society that writes off true Christians as fanatics? All of us believe in this mission - that's why we're here. But if we believed more passionately, our lives would become more like Christ's, and we would live more passionately, joyfully, and purposefully. Let's leave this Mass having promised Christ that we will do something this week to remind ourselves that we are his missionaries, his fire-spreaders.
