25th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - September 22, 2024

 When you ask for a line-up of songs for Sunday Mass, please be polite and courteous.

 On the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, we reflect on themes of humility, service, and the Christian life. The readings guide us to consider how we live out our faith in practical ways.

• True Wisdom: The first reading shows the difference between earthly and heavenly wisdom. Earthly wisdom brings envy and selfish ambition, while heavenly wisdom brings peace and righteousness.

• Humility in Service: Jesus teaches the disciples about greatness through serving others. He places a child before them, showing that serving the least among us is the path to true greatness.

• Righteous Suffering: The first reading from Wisdom highlights how the righteous suffer at the hands of the wicked. It reminds us that following God may bring trials, but we must stay faithful.

• Peaceful Living: The second reading from James calls for peace and purity. It warns against jealousy and selfishness, urging us to seek peace and good deeds.

• Childlike Faith: Jesus’ example of welcoming a child teaches us about humility and trust. We are called to have faith like children, trusting God completely and welcoming others with love.

• Selfless Love: The Gospel challenges us to put others first. By serving and loving others selflessly, we follow Christ’s example and live out our faith.

• Avoiding Conflicts: James explains that conflicts come from selfish desires. By submitting to God and seeking His wisdom, we can avoid unnecessary strife and live in harmony.

These themes for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B encourage us to live humbly and serve others, reflecting Christ’s love in our actions. As we reflect on these readings, let us commit to living out these values in our daily lives.
