Go forth and set the World on Fire

"Go forth and set the world on fire" St. Ignatius of Loyola

It is amazing to me how watching the glow of a fire makes for easy meditation. Fire is one of those great things that is so dangerous and so useful at the same time. Just like our souls; our actions can be so  useful or so dangerous to others. That is probably why so many saints and in the bible they compare the soul and fire so often. Let our souls be on fire with love for this is the time it is so needed.

"If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity." St. Ignatius of Loyola
