The Fire of Love
ENCORE RECORDING
In today’s gospel reading Jesus says, “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing.” What kind of fire is he talking about? He also says, “Do you think I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you but rather division.” How can these words be reconciled with all that Jesus says about love and forgiveness, his teachings about the importance of marriage and family and his prayer for unity? If these questions resemble yours, listen now to this episode.
