Let me set my world ablaze with the fire of my joy today!

If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world ablaze.   

~~Catherine of Siena  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Have you ever asked someone, “How are you?” and received a long, sad tale of injustices? After such a response you probably thought twice before inquiring of that person again. You may have even avoided the person so as not to hear their depressing daily report.

Yet how different it is when someone responds to your question with a cheerful outlook on life; their confident and undoubting mind-set—regardless of what is going on—has the ability to lift your spirits.

These are the kind of people Jesus needs in this world. If we are what we should be, we are positive, uplifting, encouraging, hopeful people of faith. With that kind of attitude, we can, as Catherine of Siena suggests, set the world ablaze with the fire of our joyful hearts—bringing warmth and light to everyone we meet.
