Readings

First:

Isaiah 5:1-7 - The prophet compares a vineyard which yields wild-grapes to the ... vineyard of the LORD of hosts; The people of Judah are his planting; he expected justice, but saw bloodshed; righteousness, but heard a cry!

OR Jeremiah 23: 23-29 - Am I a God near by, says the LORD, and not a God far off? ... Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully. ... Is not my word like fire... and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

Second:
Hebrews 11:29 - 12:2 - We should throw off anything that hinders - especially sin - and keep running steadily in the race. Let us not lose sight of Jesus.

Gospel:

Luke 12:49-56 - I am here to bring division / fire on the earth:- households will be divided against themselves - sons against fathers, mothers against daughters.

Themes

God as our protector in times of difficulty. The Christian life is not easy - solidarity, strength for the journey. Setting the world on fire.
