The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C calls us to reflect on our use of worldly resources and our responsibilities to others. The readings challenge us to live with honesty, justice, and faithfulness to God above all else.
- Justice
for the poor: The first reading reminds us that God cares about
the poor and condemns cheating and exploitation. We are called to treat
others with fairness and care for those in need.
- Honesty
in daily life: The Gospel warns against dishonesty and urges us
to act with integrity. God sees how we handle small things, and our
choices reveal our loyalty to Him.
- Prioritizing
God over wealth: Jesus teaches that we cannot serve both God and
money. We must decide where our true allegiance lies and choose what leads
to eternal life.
- Prayer
for all people: The second reading encourages us to pray for
everyone, including leaders and those in authority. This reminds us that
peace and order come from God’s guidance and our prayers.
- Responsible
use of resources: The Gospel challenges us to use our talents and
possessions wisely for God’s kingdom. Earthly goods are tools for doing
good and helping others.
- Faithful
service to God: Jesus calls us to be faithful in our
responsibilities. By serving God with sincerity, we show our love and
trust in Him.
The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C helps us reflect on
our values and choices. It challenges us to live with faith, integrity, and
care for others in all that we do.
