28th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - October 12, 2025

 The readings for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C talk about healing, faith, and gratitude. They show how people respond to God’s help and how faith brings wholeness.

• Healing comes from God: Naaman is healed of leprosy after following God’s instruction. Jesus heals ten lepers, showing that God brings both physical and spiritual healing.
• Faith leads to healing: Naaman at first doubts but then obeys and is healed. The Samaritan leper trusts Jesus, returns to give thanks, and is told his faith has saved him.
• Gratitude is important: Naaman returns to thank Elisha after being healed. Only one of the ten lepers thanks Jesus, showing that many forget to be grateful.
• God’s mercy is for all: Naaman is not an Israelite, but God still heals him. The one grateful leper is a Samaritan, showing that God’s love is for everyone.
• Hardship and faith: Paul suffers for preaching about Jesus, but he stays faithful. He reminds others that suffering for Christ leads to glory with him.
• Jesus is always faithful: Paul says that even when people fail, Jesus remains true. Jesus heals even those who do not return to thank him.

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.
