Choose this day!!!!!!!

Choose this day!!!!!!!
Today's Liturgical Gospel reading is the SLOGAN of Word on Fire of Father Robert Barron and of the Catholicism Project.
See www.wordonfire.org

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12:49-53.

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."
These words from Christ today give us a great opportunity to decide on which side we really want to be.

If you are a Protestant Christian, sadly divided from the Roman Catholic Church, maybe a good test would be to take yourself back 2000 years and read the many accounts of the Early Church Fathers, which is easily researched on the Internet using Google, and ask yourself the following question???

“Would I with my particular little slant on Christianity with my own private interpretation, be at HOME in a Liturgical Church with Bishops and a Structure and a 100% Eucharistic belief in the REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE CONSECRATED BREAD AND WINE.”

Would I be at home where sins were confessed to Ordained Priests who would have the authority to either forgive or retain my sins?

Today would be a good opportunity in light of this famous Gospel reading to decide once and for all.

My Prayers are with you as you make this tough decision.

As for me and mine, by the Grace of God, we will strive desperately to be on the right side, daily, right up to the very end of this life. Lord Jesus help us all to make the right decision.
