“I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” These are the words of Jesus in our Gospel this weekend. How should we understand this?
Fools are those who think they still have plenty of time. Fools are those who neglect their duties and live in immorality and licentiousness just because “the master is away.” But wise are those who do not waste any second of time and do the will of God.
