Whoever is not with me is against me
Gospel (Lk 11,15-26) - At that time, [after Jesus had cast out a demon,] some said: "It is through Beelzebul, the chief of demons, that he casts out demons." Others then, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven. He, knowing their intentions, said: «Every kingdom divided against itself falls into ruin and one house falls on another. Now, if Satan is also divided within himself, how will his kingdom be able to stand? You say that I cast out demons through Beelzebul. But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, who do your children cast them out by? For this reason they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. »When a strong, well-armed man guards his palace, what he possesses is safe. But if someone stronger than him comes and defeats him, he snatches away the weapons he trusted in and divides the spoils. Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me, he scatters. When the impure spirit…

You know the commandments: "Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and your mother". He then said to him, "Master, I have observed all these things from my youth." Then Jesus fixed his gaze on him, loved him and said to him: «You lack only one thing: go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; And Come! Follow me!". But at these words his face darkened and he went away saddened; in fact he owned many goods. Jesus, looking around him, said to his disciples: "How difficult it is for those who possess riches to enter the kingdom of God!". The disciples were disconcerted by his words; but Jesus continued and said…

For just as Jonah was a sign to those of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will also be a sign to this generation. On the day of judgment, the queen of the South will rise up against the men of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, here is one greater than Solomon. On the day of judgment, the inhabitants of Nineveh will rise up against this generation and condemn it, because they converted at Jonah's preaching. And behold, here is one greater than Jonah."

Woe to you, because you are like those tombs that cannot be seen and people pass over them without knowing it." One of the doctors of the Law intervened and said to him: "Master, by saying this, you offend us too." He replied: «Woe also to you, doctors of the Law, who burden men with unbearable burdens, and you do not even touch those burdens with a finger!».

Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable. Woe to you, doctors of the Law, who have taken away the key to knowledge; you did not enter, and you prevented those who wanted to enter." When he left there, the scribes and Pharisees began to treat him in a hostile manner and to make him speak on many topics, setting traps for him, to surprise him in some word that came from his own mouth.

Go: behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves; do not carry a purse, bag or sandals and do not stop to greet anyone along the way. »Whatever house you enter, first say: “Peace be to this house!”. If there is a child of peace, your peace will come upon him, otherwise it will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking from what they have, because whoever works has a right to his reward. Don't go from one house to another. When you enter a city and they welcome you, eat what is offered to you, heal the sick who are there, and say to them: 'The kingdom of God is near you'".

Jesus said to them: «You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”. They replied: "We can." And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink, you too will drink, and in the baptism with which I am baptized you will also be baptized. But sitting on my right or my left is not up to me to grant; it is for those for whom it was prepared." The other ten, having heard, began to be indignant with James and John.

Then he told them a parable: «The countryside of a rich man had produced an abundant harvest. He reasoned to himself: «What will I do, since I have nowhere to put my crops? I will do this – he said –: I will demolish my warehouses and build larger ones and I will collect all the grain and my goods there. Then I will say to myself: My soul, you have many goods at your disposal, for many years; rest, eat, drink and have fun! ». But God said to him: «You fool, this very night your life will be required of you. And what you have prepared, whose will it be? ».

The Lord replied: «Who then is the trusted and prudent administrator, whom the master will place in charge of his servants to give the food ration in due time? Blessed is that servant whom the master, upon arriving, finds acting thus. Truly I tell you that he will put you in charge of all his possessions. But if that servant said in his heart, “My master is slow in coming,” and began to beat the male and female servants, to eat, to drink, and to get drunk, the master of that servant will come one day when he will not take it. wait and at an hour he doesn't know, he will punish him severely and inflict on…

From now on, if there are five people in a family, they will be divided three against two and two against three; they will divide father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

And when the sirocco blows, you say: “It will be hot”, and so it happens. Hypocrites! You know how to evaluate the appearance of the earth and the sky; why don't you know how to evaluate this time? And why don't you judge for yourselves what is right? When you go with your opponent before the magistrate, along the way try to reach an agreement with him, lest he drag you before the judge and the judge hands you over to the debt collector and he throws you into prison. I tell you: you will not get out of there until you have paid every last penny."

No, I tell you, but if you do not convert, you will all perish in the same way. Or do you think those eighteen people, on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, were more guilty than all the inhabitants of Jerusalem? No, I tell you, but if you do not convert, you will all perish in the same way." He also told this parable: «A man had planted a fig tree in his vineyard and came looking for fruit, but he found none.

But he will answer you: I don't know you, I don't know where you are from. Then you will begin to say: We ate and drank in your presence and you taught in our streets. But he will declare: I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity! There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you cast out.

Behold, your house is about to be left deserted! For I tell you that you will no longer see me until the time when you say: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
