Dear Friends,

The words Jesus uses in today’s gospel are jarring. “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” – “Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.” It is unusual to hear such words coming from Jesus. What point is he trying to make? How do we interpret these words in light of the entire Gospel? I find it helpful to remember that one of Jesus’ roles is that of prophet (and much more than a prophet). In this, He follows Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Hosea and all the others. He is well aware that because the word of the prophet challenges the hearers to change their ways, to turn back to God from ungodly activity or practices and to care for the poor, the widow, orphan and alien that it is not met with universal acceptance. Rejection will be faced – like Jeremiah in the first reading. He wants everyone to “repent and believe in the gospel.” Yet he also knows that not everyone will accept his message or challenge. He speaks these words to us so we are aware when we have to face the difficulties when we identify as a Christian while other important people in our lives do not.

Best wishes to our college students who are preparing for their return. The summer months are flying by. Please keep all our students in prayer especially the first year students that they may stay close to God, find friends and adapt well to college life.

Thanks to the Knights and all who donated to the food-drive this weekend, your help and support are greatly appreciated by all.

God bless,
Monsignor Prior
