Jesus brought the Gospel, the good news of God’s love for each one of us, and that is why the Lord says the Gospel is like a fire, because it is a message when it erupts into history and overturns the old ways of life, helping us overcome selfishness and break our dependence on sin, leading to new life in the Risen One. Things are never the same when the Gospel comes alive in one’s heart. It provokes change, conversion, and sparks a restlessness that sets us in motion, and drives us to open up to God and to our brothers and sisters. Angelus Message, Aug. 14, 2022.
