August 17, 2025 – TWENTY SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

+ From the Gospel according to Luke (12:49-53)

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples:
“I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism with which I will be baptized, and how I am distressed until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? I tell you, No, but division. From now on, five in a family will be divided, three against two and two against three; father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
