At the outset I would like to apologise for skipping last week post, but I was extremely overworked and have a sprained wrist and then ended the weekend with a beautiful and much needed holiday for my birthday with my parents!
“I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
As Jesus would expect, my mind and heart were ablaze for the entire past month cause I was so stressed out. I was constantly working till late and had no time to sleep (excuse the tiny posts last few weeks – typed in sleep deprivation at ungodly hours) with a hurt wrist now in a sling…. but I knew I had to post and so I powered through until I forgot last thursday!
We all are blazing with our over worked and stressed minds and I could barely sit through the rosary with my parents and dozed off a couple of times. In this hectic life, the fact that earth was set on fire with love for JEsus seems highly impossible. I guess ISrael and Palestine are making sure that job is done though!
I never understood this Gospel reading on why The Lord would want us to be divided — Nowadays we find excuses to be happy and force ourselves to paint a pretty picture at the external means. But we need the Lord for fulfillment.
Let us and me as a 35 year old woman focus my happiness on finding my faith and being stronger at it. Let me be burning with the Love of the Lord at the Judgement day!
AMEN
