Gospel Acclamation : Alleluia, alleluia! My sheep listen to my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me. Alleluia!
Gospel : Lk 12:49-53 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
Jesus said to his disciples:
"I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized,
and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth?
No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided,
three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son
and a son against his father,
a mother against her daughter
and a daughter against her mother,
a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
The Gospel of the Lord.
DID YOU KNOW? Points of interest and Catholic lore
† This text paints a different picture from the gentle, compassionate Jesus of popular
belief. It is just one example of Jesus displaying human emotion and passion for his cause.
† One of the symbols of the Holy Spirit is fire. At Pentecost, the Spirit came in the form of tongues of flame to the disciples in the upper room.
† The baptism that Jesus is still to experience is his death, his ‘baptism of fire’ or the persecution he undergoes because of his commitment to doing the will of the Father.
WELCOME! Our warmest welcome to all who celebrate with us, whether long time resident
or newly arrived in the Parish or a visitor. We thank God for you! If you are not on our Par-
ish list - please fill out a new parishioner card available from the Welcome Desk and hand it
back to them.
