The Flame of Christ is a powerful symbol of unwavering faith and fierce passion for the Lord. Fire is a recurring symbol in the Catholic faith, representing both the Holy Spirit and the burning love that Christ has for us.

As Christians, we should seek to ignite that same passion within ourselves, letting the fire of the Lord guide us towards a deeper relationship with God.

Our journey with God is a long-term mission. There may be times when our flame does not burn as bright but we must never lose sight of our faith.

Just as a fire needs to consume fuel to sustain itself, our faith needs to be nourished and tended to in order to grow.

Today let us make a commitment to seek God and stock the flames of passion for Christ within us, so that it may shine brightly for all to see.
