TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - YEAR C
Readings
First: Amos 8:4-7 - A message against those who suppress the poor for their own gain: the Lord will not forget a single thing you have done.
Psalm: 112 - Praise the Lord who raises the poor / Praise O servants of the Lord / High above all nations is the Lord / From the dust he lifts the lowly.
Second: I Timothy 2:1-8 - There should be prayers offered to God for everyone - God wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth. There is only one God, and one mediator, Jesus
Gospel: Luke 16:1-13 - Parable of the dishonest / unjust steward: the children of the world are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children of light. ... The one who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great ones: if you cannot be trusted with money, who will trust you with genuine riches? You cannot be the slave of both God and money.
