Reading 1, Romans 6:19-23

¹⁹ I am putting it in human terms because you are still weak human beings: as once you surrendered yourselves as servants to immorality and to a lawlessness which results in more lawlessness, now you have to surrender yourselves to uprightness which is to result in sanctification.

²⁰ When you were the servants of sin, you felt no obligation to uprightness,

²¹ and what did you gain from living like that? Experiences of which you are now ashamed, for that sort of behaviour ends in death.

²² But, now you are set free from sin and bound to the service of God, your gain will be sanctification and the end will be eternal life.

²³ For the wage paid by sin is death; the gift freely given by God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 1:1-2, 3, 4, 6

¹ How blessed is anyone who rejects the advice of the wicked and does not take a stand in the path that sinners tread, nor a seat in company with cynics,

² but who delights in the law of Yahweh and murmurs his law day and night.

³ Such a one is like a tree planted near streams; it bears fruit in season and its leaves never wither, and every project succeeds.

⁴ How different the wicked, how different! Just like chaff blown around by the wind

⁶ For Yahweh watches over the path of the upright, but the path of the wicked is doomed.

Gospel, Luke 12:49-53

⁴⁹ 'I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!

⁵⁰ There is a baptism I must still receive, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

⁵¹ 'Do you suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.

⁵² For from now on, a household of five will be divided: three against two and two against three;

⁵³ father opposed to son, son to father, mother to daughter, daughter to mother, mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law to mother-in-law.'
