Luke 12: 49-53

Here is the Gospel from today:

GospelLk
12:49-53Jesus 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.”

We were visiting the Catholic Church in my husband's home town so I don't
remember the name of the Priest, but he gave an inspiring Homily.
...Sometimes following Christ means hardship.

Doing what you know to be right when all others laugh and ridicule and
gossip about you and your beliefs. Living your beliefs so that others see
Jesus through you and your life.

Jesus, I trust in You.
