From Fr. Miguel’s Shrine Homilies · 00:13:47
Show by Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word
"I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!" In this homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on Christ's desire to ignite the world with the fire of His divine love, a fire that purifies our hearts, burns away selfishness, and conforms our will to God's. Through the inspiring life and witness of Pope St. John Paul II, Fr. Miguel recalls his remarkable journey from a childhood marked by loss and suffering in Nazi-occupied Poland to becoming one of the most influential popes in modern history. Drawing on personal memories of World Youth Day in Denver in 1993 and St. John Paul II's powerful message, "Be not afraid," he reminds us that we have nothing to fear when we welcome Christ and allow His power to work through us. We are called not simply to receive God's love, but to let it transform us and set the world ablaze. Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ!
