Lectio: Lk 12.49-53

“Do you think I have come to establish peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.” Lk 12.51

“O God, You know how perverse we can be.

I remember Jesus declared that His announcement that the Kingdom of God is at hand for all and for now and forever would be rejected by some even within one’s household.

Grant that I may be ever grateful for the Good New and with your grace be loyal to Your kingdom here on earth regardless of what others do.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “division” - lack of the whole; cause of conflict; lack of peace; lack of unanimity; resolve to pray for the acceptance of Your kingdom here on earth and do my part to help bring about this acceptance.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 12.54-59
