Today's Gospel (Lk 12:49-53): Jesus said to his disciples, «I have come to bring fire upon the earth and how I wish it were already kindled; but I have a baptism to undergo and what anguish I feel until it is over! Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. >From now on, in one house five will be divided; three against two, and two against three. 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 her mother-in-law».
Are there religious divisions in your household or among your friends and acquaintances?:confused:

Jesus knew that establishing the Kingdom of God on Earth would result in familial conflicts--social conflicts in the Jewish Tribal Society. Any breaks in the social and culltural order brings upheaval.

No religious divisions.

Choux,
Yes, Jesus knew.
He knew a lot being the son of God.
Peace and kindness,
