"“¿Crees que he venido a darte paz en la Tierra? No, te lo digo, sino división."

(LUCAS 12:51) Vivir un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad

significa salir de nuestra zona de confort cuando sea necesario. A muchos de nosotros nos gusta jugar a lo seguro, no hacer olas, permanecer en el medio del camino. En el mundo de hoy estamos llamados a estar informados y a tomar una posición por la vida, el matrimonio y la libertad religiosa.

““Do you think I have come to give you peace on Earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.”

(Luke 12:51) Living a stewardship lifestyle means stepping out of our comfort zone when needed. Many of us like to play it safe, not cause waves, stay in the middle of the road. In today’s world we are called to be informed and take a stance for life, marriage and religious liberty.

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time -Luke 12:49-53 In today’s gospel Jesus the prince of peace invites his disciples to a holy war against sin and evil forces. The message of Jesus is non-violent. It brings love, compassion, harmony, peace. It brings people together so that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave or free, male or female. But it also of its nature challenges injustice, corruption, discrimination, abuse, dishonesty and all attacks on human dignity. The saying that Jesus has come to set the earth on fire, and bring division instead of peace, has been understood in several ways by Christians

and non-Christians. Fire is the sign of purification. John had promised that Jesus would baptize with Holy Spirit and fire. Fire is symbolic of the Holy Spirit and His actions of being a consuming fire as God. The ministry of Jesus on earth included preparing the way for the coming of the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to guide and teach us in all the truth, to sanctify us and to test our faith by fire. While some see this statement as a paradox which not be taken literally, others see it as the advocating of violence by Jesus. Therefore the holy war to which Christ calls us is not a war against people of certain nationalities or cultures, creeds or ideologies, but a war in which we first have to identify the forces for evil in our own persons and in the persons of those who are dear to us father, son, mother, daughter, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and then declare an uncompromising war against these forces. In so doing, Jesus redefines family as those who follow the same divine purpose and no longer those who share the same name or address. The challenge before us today is to take the side of Christ, and be men and women of principle, even if doing so will divide us from our kith and kin, our father or mother, our brother or sister, our brother-in-law or sister-in-law our townsmen or our tribesmen. This is what Jesus meant when he said “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters”. As disciples our commitment is to follow Jesus and to enter fully into his struggle to repair the world, and to restore ourselves and others to right relationships. The cost of this for some will mean changing their work or losing their job. For others, it will mean challenging or even changing their personal relationships or travelling more lightly or blooming more fully right where they are planted.
