Jesus said … ‘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. …'”

“‘… You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. … Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants ….

CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “No Cross, No Crown – A Homily for the the 29th Sunday of the Year” – Archdiocese of Washington/ Msgr. Charles Pope
“In the Sunday Gospel, the Lord Jesus speaks of crosses and crowns. The apostles have only crowns in mind, but Jesus knows the price of the crown. So, He must teach them and us that crowns—the things we value most—come only through the cross. …”
CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time 10.21.18 – USCCB/NABRE
“… ‘You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and … make their authority … felt. … [I]t shall not be so among you.

CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “MESSAGE OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF PADUA FOR THE FEAST OF THE EVANGELIST LUKE” – VaticanVa
“… As a minister of God’s Word (cf. Lk 1: 2), Luke leads us to knowledge of the discreet yet penetrating light that radiates from it, while illustrating the reality and events of history. The theme of the Word of God, the golden thread woven through the two works that comprise Luke’s writing, also unites the two periods treated by him: the time of Jesus and that of the Church. As if narrating the “history of the Word of God”, Luke’s story follows its advance from the Holy Land to the ends of the earth. The journey proposed by the third Gospel is profoundly marked by listening to this Word which, like a seed, must be received with goodness and promptness of heart, overcoming the obstacles that prevent it from taking root and bearing fruit (cf. Lk 8: 4-15). …”

CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Feast of Saint Luke, Evangelist, Thursday 10.18.18 – USCCB/NABRE
“‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him …. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.'”
