"The fire on the altar shall be kept burning (Lev. 6:12).” St. Gregory says that the altars of God are our hearts where He desires that the fire of His Divine love should always be burning; and therefore the Eternal Father, not satisified with having given us His Son Jesus Christ, to save us by His death and resurrection, also gave us the Holy Spirit that He might dwell in our souls and keep them constantly on fire with His love.
Jesus Himself declared that He had come into the world to inflame our hearts with this holy fire, and that He desired nothing more than to see it kindled,
"I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled! (Luke. 12:49)".
