Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Good News – Cross”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed clearly that the “Good News of Salvation”, must include our total committed response. God must be our first and ultimate love in our life. Ponder on, “Jesus also promises that in living our faith, God will always give us His graces, Light and Strength, to overcome challenges. Is our commitment to our faith deep?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 12:49-53
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already! There is a baptism I must still receive, and how great is my distress till it is over!
‘Do you suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on, a household of five will be divided: three against two and two against three; the father divided against the son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’
