Preparation for Sunday mass: Luke 12:49-53


We present here the text that will be read at Sunday mass, the 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time, and we formulate some questions that might help us prepare to hear the reading.

49 "I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! 52 From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; 53 they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

- What is the fire that Jesus came to bring?

- What is the division that he brings?

- Why does Jesus talk like this?
