In the words of Pope Francis, “Throughout the world, let us be ‘permanently in a state of mission.’” We all have a call to become missionary disciples. When we share our encounter with Jesus Christ, we call this “missionary discipleship.”

St. Catherine understood that the mission field is closer than we think, in our own backyard! Not only did she have a personal encounter with God’s transforming “ever-burning” love, but she was not afraid to proclaim it and go out into the world, a world marred by violence, disease, and corruption, as a missionary.

Christ, to St. Catherine, was a fire that consumes all selfish love. When we encounter Him, we are called to go “outside” of ourselves and be a conflagration of Christ’s love with a FIRE blazing underneath us.

We are empowered to follow (Mt 9:9), remain (Jn 15:4), and go on to make disciples of others (Mt 28:19).

Our young adults are yearning for the opportunity to #FueltheFire of missionary work, but it all starts with an inspirational spark.
