Reading 1 Ephesians 3: 14-21
Brothers and sisters:
I
kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he
may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his
Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that
you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy
ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ
that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of
God.
Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we
ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the Church and in
Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Psalm 33: 1-2, 4-5, 11-12, 18-19
R. (5b) The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
Exult, you just, in the LORD;
praise from the upright is fitting.
Give thanks to the LORD on the
harp;
with the ten
stringed lyre chant his praises.
R. The
earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
For upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are
trustworthy.
He
loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
But the plan of the LORD stands
forever;
the design
of his heart, through all generations.
Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he has chosen for his own
inheritance.
R. The earth is full of the
goodness of the Lord.
But see, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear
him,
upon those who
hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
R. The earth is full of the goodness of the
Lord.
Gospel Lk 12: 49-53
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."
