Zeal is required if we are going to bring humanity Home to the Blessed Trinity. Jesus made no bones about it. He said that he came to bring fire to the earth and was in distress till it was blazing. He described his first followers as 'light of the world" and "salt of the earth". He said that they were "good for nothing" if they became salt without taste. According to the Book of Revelation, the "lukewarm" he would vomit out of his mouth. In the highly symbolic gesture of cleansing the temple, his disciples applied these prophetic words to Jesus, "Zeal for your house consumes me." [Jn 2:17]
