A. Introduction
a) To the Holy Mass
Dear
Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Good
morning!
We
celebrate this Sunday the 26th week in the Ordinary Time, liturgical year C,
with the theme “How to deal wisely with earthly possessions?”
The
message of Divine Word points out that all resources which we are granted by
the Creator in this life should be at the use of everyone and at the service of
God and neighbors. The more we receive
the better our sharing with one another is expected to be.
Money and
power can be considered the acid test for an authentic disciple of Christ, no
matter what status in the Christian community they may find themselves in. The rich man in this Sunday’s parable failed that
test because he refused to lend his less fortunate fellow man a helping hand
regardless of the latter’s desperate conditions.
We pray
for the strength of our will so as to be able to listen to the Word of God and
put it into practice.
Please all
stand for the entrance hymn.
b) To the Readings
-
First
Reading (Am 6:1a. 4-7)
The Lord
God knows man’s greedy, selfish, and evil thoughts and deeds which He will not
let go without any accountability.
-
Second
Reading (1 Tim 6:11-16)
Saint Paul
urges his disciple Bishop Timothy to hold fast to the latter’s faith in Christ
until the day he comes back in glory.
Then the reward of eternal life will not fail those who wait for the
King of kings and Lord of lords.
