A reading from the holy gospel according to Luke
Jesus 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.”
EVANGILE DE JESUS CHRIST SELON ST. LUC
Je suis venu jeter un feu sur la terre, et qu’ai-je à désirer, s’il est déjà allumé? Il est un baptême dont je dois être baptisé, et combien il me tarde qu’il soit accompli! Pensez-vous que je sois venu apporter la paix sur la terre? Non, vous dis-je, mais la division. Car désormais cinq dans une maison seront divisés, trois contre deux, et deux contre trois; le père contre le fils et le fils contre le père, la mère contre la fille et la fille contre la mère, la belle-mère contre la belle-fille et la bellefille contre la belle-mère.
