I have come to set the earth on fire,
and how I wish it were already blazing!

But if that servant says to himself,
‘My master is delayed in coming,’
and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants,
to eat and drink and get drunk,
then that servant’s master will come
on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour
and will punish the servant severely
and assign him a place with the unfaithful.

Gird your loins and light your lamps
and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding,
ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.

For the Son of Man did not come to be served
but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.

For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.

On Friday Oct 18, Feast of St. Luke
