EP 020 | Jesus and the Sword?
from SD Podcast Hosted by Fr. John Gow
What does it mean when Jesus says He came to bring the sword? What is being attacked? Answer: The false sense of peace we might be hiding in, or the things in our lives that don't belong, and never did. The more we say yes to Christ, the more we open ourselves to change, the more the words from the Gospel cut to our hearts and through the wrong things that our hearts are connected to. SHOW NOTES Readings: 1 Peter 4:12–19; Psalm 126; Matthew 10:34–39 (NABRE). Voices: St. Jerome, St. John Chrysostom (Catena Aurea). Memorial of Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More, martyrs (June 22 — the day of Fisher's martyrdom). Full readings at USCCB (June 22, 2026).
