September 21, 2025 - September 25, 2025
Readings
- First Reading: Amos 8:4-7

- Second Reading: 1 Timothy 2:1-8

Brief Homily
Today’s readings invite us to live with honesty, justice, and faithfulness. Amos condemns those who exploit the poor for selfish gain, reminding us that God hears the cry of the oppressed. St. Paul urges us to pray for all people, especially leaders, so that peace and godliness may prevail. In the Gospel, Jesus warns that we cannot serve both God and money. Wealth is not evil in itself, but it becomes dangerous when it controls us. True disciples use material gifts wisely, with generosity and responsibility, knowing that our ultimate treasure is found in God alone.
Inspiration Message
- Put God First – No one can serve two masters; let God’s will guide your choices.
- Be Just and Honest – Like Amos teaches, treat others fairly, never exploiting the weak.
- Pray for Leaders – St. Paul reminds us that prayer for those in authority brings peace.
- Use Wealth Wisely – Money is a tool, not a master; use it to bless others and glorify God.
- Seek Eternal Riches – Store treasures in heaven through faith, love, and good works .
