🔥 Igniting ZEAL: letting your faith set the world on fire

Ignite your heart for God with St. Catherine of Siena and some sweet and spicy meatballs

It’s easy to fall into “auto-pilot” in our spiritual lives. We can go through the motions—prayer, Mass, work—without much heart behind it. And yet, God doesn’t want lukewarm love from us. He wants passion. Fire. ZEAL.

Zeal isn’t about being loud or doing more—it’s about loving God with our whole hearts and allowing that love to inspire everything we do. It’s about showing up with courage, commitment, and a deep desire to serve.

This week I’m sharing a reflection on what it means to be on fire for God, a brief bio and beautiful video about St. Catherine of Siena for her feast day (April 29), and, just for fun, we bring the heat with a recipe for Firecracker Meatballs. Let’s explore what holy zeal looks like in everyday life: in our prayer, our relationships, and our vocations. Where is God asking us to fan the flame? How can we live with greater boldness for God?
