Gospel Text:

Jesus said, “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided:

father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, `It is going to rain’; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, `There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?”

Luke 12:49-56

A Call to Action:
Our Church’s Office of Public Affairs has published an article detailing ways that members of The Episcopal Church have responded to this humanitarian crisis. You can find this article by clicking here. Some of us may wish to support these ongoing initiatives. Others may want to become involved closer to home, perhaps through support of the work of the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry.
