25th Sunday in Ordinary Time (in Year C)
Liturgical Color: Green
Repost from JR Medina's post in BP Forum

Readings: 

1R: Amos 8:4-7: A warning to people who trample upon the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end. God will never forget any of their deeds. The rich shouldn’t be greedy. 

RP: 112 or 113. Praise the Lord, who raises the poor. 

2R: 1 Timothy 2:1-8. Paul urges us to pray for all men, including kings and all who are in high positions. The Savior desires all men to be saved. 

G: Luke 16:1-13. This is the Parable of the Dishonest Servant. A servant who was about to lose his job reduced the debts of others who were indebted to the Master. The Master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. 
I’ll try to analyse the seemingly difficult Gospel account. At the defining moment of losing a job, or even death, money seems to be of little importance. That’s why the dishonest servant gave away much of his master’s money, because when he reduced what had been recorded, those debtors would be kind to him when he loses his job. That’s what Luke meant when he wrote Make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. The master even commended the dishonest servant for it. Moral lesson: Value things that will last a lifetime. No servant can serve two masters. Christ loves the poor because this is what they do: give little value to worldly things, and thus have more time for heavenly things.
