Like the widow who would not give up, we are called to a faith that persists—to pray, to act, and to love boldly in a weary world.

In today’s gospel, Jesus speaks of fire, division, and urgency—words that unsettle rather than comfort. Rev. Salvador Cosio explores how this fire is not about destruction but about transformation: reshaping our identity in baptism, gathering us into true belonging in Christ’s body, and sending us into the world with purpose.
