27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C (October 2, 2016)

Sunday, 2 October 2016
27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

We are in Year C.
Liturgical Color: Green

Readings:

1R: Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4. It is asked why the Lord seems to be deaf to our cries for help. The Lord replies, “It may seem slow, but it’s soon.” God’s help will soon come. The righteous shall live by His faith.

RP: 94 or 95 If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts. 

2R: 2 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14. God did not gift us shyness. God gave us power, love, self-control. Do not be ashamed of suffering for the Gospel. Be strong in faith and love. Guard the truth entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit. 

G: Luke 17:5-10 is about 

1. Lord, increase our faith
2. If you have faith the size of a mustard seed…
3. The attitude of a servant. Masters don’t just invite servants to their dining table. Even if the servant is tired, he has to wait while his master dines.

Heaven is a gift, not a salary. We don’t earn grace. It is given to us freely by God not because we are good but because He is good. So let’s be humble, and make our faith ever stronger. All goodness belongs to God. Let us not think of ourselves as righteous to the point that we’ve earned honor. Please be reminded it's also month of the Holy Rosary.
