We don't expect to hear such

difficult words from Jesus in the

Gospel.

But it is good to be reminded once

in a while that the decision to do the

right thing, the good thing, is not

always easy and without conflict.

Jesus himself did not make easy

decisions and avoid conflict.

In today's reading, he reminds his

followers to be prepared for difficult

decisions and conflict as well.
