27th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - October 5, 2025

 The 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C offers us various lessons through its readings. Each reading provides insights into how we live and believe as Christians.

• Living by Faith: The prophet Habakkuk questions God about the suffering he sees. God responds by telling him to wait for a vision that promises justice. This teaches us that faith involves trusting God’s timing and plan, even when we don’t understand.
• Gift of the Spirit: In the second reading, Paul encourages Timothy to use the gifts God has given him. This reminds us that God equips us with spiritual gifts, and we should use them boldly and lovingly.
• Power of Small Faith: Jesus mentions that faith as small as a mustard seed can do great things. It shows us that the size of our faith is less important than its true presence and action in our lives.
• Duty and Service: The Gospel also compares faith to a servant doing his duty. It teaches us that following Jesus means serving without expecting rewards; our actions are part of our Christian duty.
• Vision and Persistence: Habakkuk is told to write down a vision clearly. This tells us that having a clear vision and persistence in faith can guide us through challenges and uncertainties.
• Courage in Witnessing: Paul’s words to Timothy highlight the need for courage in proclaiming our faith. This encourages us to be strong and persistent in sharing our belief with others.

These themes from the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourage us to reflect on our faith and duties as Christians. They guide us in living out our beliefs in practical and faithful ways.
