Faith on Fire: A Fire That Divides - 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus tells us in the Gospel, “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” But what kind of fire is He talking about? And, why does He say it will bring division, not peace? In this first homily of the Faith on Fire series, Fr. Tom reflects on how the fire of Christ purifies, transforms, and sometimes disrupts our comfort. Drawing from Jeremiah’s courage, the Letter to the Hebrews, and the witness of the saints, this episode challenges us to let the Holy Spirit set our hearts ablaze, even when it costs us.
