Nothing safe about faith

What to say on today's Gospel reading?

www.goodnews.ie offers some interesting ideas.

This line is from the site:

Faith is not something one has, it is something one does. “I have come to bring fire on earth.” Is it just some ‘thing’ lying there safely, needing to be protected on all sides? No, it is energy, and it is not safe to have it around. If it makes you feel safe, it is not faith.
