Rekindling Our Zeal for Christ - Homily 23rd October 2025

Jesus declared, “I have come to bring fire to the earth!” That fire is the burning zeal of love, a passion that consumes the heart and drives us toward our God-given mission. But over time, even that fire can fade. Routine, sin, or comfort can cool our passion until faith feels like maintenance rather than mission.

Jesus reminds us today that true discipleship is never lukewarm. His fire purifies, challenges, and renews. To rekindle our zeal, we must return to the source: the Holy Spirit, prayer, reconciliation, and the love we share with others. When our hearts burn again with God’s love, everything we do becomes life-giving.

Reflection Question: Where in my life have I grown comfortable, and how is Jesus inviting me to rekindle my zeal for His mission?
