Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time
Luke 12:49–53

Friends, in today’s Gospel,
Jesus declares his desire to spread eternal life among human beings.
He said, “I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!”

What is that fire? His forerunner, John, gave us a clue:
“I am baptizing you with water, for repentance,
but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. . .
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
Jesus came in order to torch the world with the heat and light of the divine Spirit,
which is none other than the love shared by the Father and the Son, the very inner life of God.

Jesus is a prophet because he teaches; he is a king because he leads and shepherds;
but he is a priest because he is the spreader of the sacred fire.
Every one of the baptized shares in the priesthood of Christ and is therefore obligated to be a conduit of holiness,
a bearer of the divine life,
a spreader of the fire that sets the world ablaze.

[MurphsLaw]

+++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.”+++

You are on you game.

What happened to black music, seriously, we went from that greatness to the mess we have now.

[A Voice]

It simply devolved and wickedness has ensued.

I figured you would like it.

Much more about Mother Earth, than God.

Check the lyrics, Murph.

The Pachamama Pope, however, would probably agree with you.

[MurphsLaw]

Yeah... I guess I forgot...

Sucks to be them...

[ebb tide]

Yeah... I guess I forgot...

I seems you've also forgotten that denying any dogma of the Church by a Catholic makes one a heretic.

[MurphsLaw]

You hypocrites!
You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky;
why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
