Gospel
text (Luke 12,54-59):
Jesus said to the crowds, «When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at
once: ‘A shower is coming’. And so it happens. And when the wind blows from the
south, you say: ‘It will be hot’; and so it is. You superficial people! You
understand the signs of the earth and the sky, but you don't understand the
present times. And why do you not judge for yourselves what is fit? When you go
with your accuser before the court, try to settle the case on the way, lest he
drag you before the judge and the judge deliver you to the jailer, and the
jailer throw you in prison. I tell you, you will not get out until you have
paid the very last penny».
