25th Sunday in Ordinary Time/ Year C/ Homily for September 21 2025
Sep. 21. 2025 - Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ord. Time. Readings: Amos 8: 4-7; Psalm 113: 1-2, 4-6, 7-8; 1 Timothy 2: 1-8; Luke 16: 1-13 ========================================================================= #The_readings_for_the_25th_Sunday_in_Ordinary_time, Year C, invite us to reflect on the themes of justice, stewardship, and the proper use of our resources. In the first reading from the prophet Amos, we encounter a powerful condemnation of those who exploit the poor and manipulate the markets for their gain. Amos calls out the hypocrisy of those who prioritize profit over people, illustrating that God sees and remembers these injustices. He reminds us that the Lord is attentive to the plight of the needy, and His judgment is certain. In today’s Psalm, we sing praises to the Lord who lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the ash heap. This offers us hope and reminds us that our God is deeply concerned with justice, compassion, and the dignity of every person. We are called to reflect that divine concern in our own lives. In the Second Reading from 1 Timothy. Paul urges us to pray for everyone, including those in authority, which means invoking God's justice and mercy not only for ourselves but for the world around us. This connects our personal and communal lives in Christ, reminding us that true stewardship involves sharing our blessings, our time, and our prayers in service to others. In today’s Gospel of Luke, we hear the parable of the dishonest steward. At first glance, this story can be perplexing. How can the steward's cunning, even if it is for his own benefit, be praised? ============================================================================== #catholic #jesus #catholicchurch #christian #catholicism #church #faith #god #jesuschrist #christianity #bible #catholiclife #love #catholicfaith #prayer #romancatholic #christ #pray #rosary #katolik #holyspirit #catholics #religion #virginmary #bibleverse #gospel #catolico #catholicfamily #hope #saints #bible #catholicfaith #gospel #sundayhomilies #dailyvlog ============================================================================== @MyCatholicLifeJMJ @truewords1995 @trustisanobelword @DailyGospelTamil @jesuscalls
