October 5, 2025 - 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C

 

1st Reading - Hab 1:2-3;2:2-4

    How long, O Lord? I cry for help but you do not listen!  I cry out to you, 

“Violence!” but you do not intervene. Why do you let me see ruin; 

why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; 

there is strife, and clamorous discord.

    Then the Lord answered me and said: Write down the vision clearly upon 

the tablets, so that one can read it readily. For the vision still has its time, 

presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint. If it delays, 

wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late. The rash one
has no integrity; but the just one, because of his faith, shall live.

Responsorial Psalm - (Ps 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9)

R –If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts!

* Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord; let us acclaim the

Rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with

thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him. R.

* Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before

the Lord who made us. For he is our God, and we are the

people he shepherds, the flock he guides. R.

* Oh, that today you would hear his voice: “Harden not

your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert,

where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though

they had seen my works.” R.

2nd Reading - 2 Tm 1:6-8,13-14

Beloved: I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God

that you have through the imposition of my hands. For God

did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and

love and self-control. 

So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord,

nor of me, a prisoner for his sake; but bear your share of

hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from

God. Take as your norm the sound words that you heard

from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Guard

this rich trust with the help of the Holy Spirit that dwells

within us.

Gospel Acclamation - 1 Pt 1:25

 Alleluia, Alleluia.

The word of the Lord remains for ever.

This is the word that has been proclaimed to you.

Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel - Lk 17:5-10

    The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed,

you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted

in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

    Who among you would say to your servant who has

just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,

‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?

Would he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to

eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.

You may eat and drink when I am finished’? Is he grateful

to that servant because he did what was commanded?

    So should it be with you. When you have done all you

have been commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants;

we have [just] done what we were expected to do.’ ”
