October 24, 2013: Thursday, 29th week, Ordinary Time
Readings- Rom 6:19-23 Present your bodies as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. Sin's wages is death, but God's gift is eternal life in Christ.
- Ps 1:1-4, 6 "Blessed are they who hope in the Lord." Blessed those who delight in and meditate on God's law. They yields fruit, prosper. Lord watches over the just.
- Lk 12:49-53 I came to set the earth on fire; how I wish it were already blazing! I've come not to establish peace but division.
Reflections
- RC.net: Fire as God's presence, glory, protection, holiness, judgment, wrath against sin, Spirit... Division from ordered loyalty.
- Creighton: We get tired and lazy and can overlook others' sacrifices/support.
- Universalis: St. Anthony Mary Claret
Music
- Send down the fire/ Haugen (lyrics) (Sept. 23 post says more about this) (gospel)
Apparel
- People tie pin: present your bodies for sanctification (1st reading)
- Tree and apple pins: You who hope in God are like trees bearing fruit (psalm)
- Sun tie, red shirt, red suspenders: blazing fire (gospel)
- Abacus tie pin: not peace but division (gospel) [yes, division can be done on an abacus; see instructions]

| "Not peace" button (created for today, not available in stores :-): "Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No..." (gospel) |
Dress your life!
