It's a gloomy day out today. I actually enjoy these kinds of days, odd as that may seem. I just light a few candles and get to work. I have tons to do today. We are still getting stocking orders so I need to catch up on those. I also have lots to pack and get ready for shipping.

Thursday of the Twenty-ninth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Mary Salome, St. Mello, Bishop
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."
