Weekday
First Reading
Romans 6:19-23
19I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for sanctification.
20When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.
22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life.
23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 1:1-4, 6
1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.
6for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Gospel
Luke 12:49-53
49"I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled!
50I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I am constrained until it is accomplished!
51Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division;
52for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three;
53they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
