Ponder this. How are you feeling today? Most of us, hopefully, are feeling pretty good. And if each of us took our temperature, it would probably register around 98.6° for our physical body. This temperature is neither hot nor cold; it's just right for our body to function optimally.
But what is the optimal temperature for our spiritual health? We are told in Sacred Scripture that we must not be lukewarm. In fact, we must be on fire for the Lord. If we are simply lukewarm, Scripture tells us the Lord will spit us out of His mouth, and that does not sound very pleasant.
We must become on fire for the Lord and fall in love with Him, become filled with the Holy Spirit, and become a vessel of love. Love for the Lord. We can best accomplish this by receiving grace from the Sacrament of Reconciliation and then receiving Jesus in the Eucharist.
Receive these sacraments frequently, and feel your spiritual temperature heat up.
