25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing
with their own generation than are the children of light."
Sunday Scripture Reflections
Bishop Robert Barron - Don’t Demonize—or Divinize—the Powerful: Friends, the first and second readings this Sunday beautifully show both sides of Catholic social teaching: the balance between recognizing political, economic, and social power, and criticizing the abuse of that power. We should not demonize our leaders; we pray for them, and we recognize their importance. But we should not divinize them either; we are deeply aware of the ways that their power can be corrupted. listen to more...
Dr. Scott Hahn - Prudent Stewards: The steward in today’s Gospel confronts the reality that he can’t go on living the way he has been. He is under judgment. He must give account for what he has done. The exploiters of the poor in today’s First Reading are also about to be pulled down, to be thrust from their stations. Servants of mammon, or money, they’re so in love with wealth that they reduce the poor to objects; they despise the new moons and sabbaths—the observances and holy days of God. read more...

Each of these saints lived this Sunday’s readings in their own way and in their own time and place. read more...
