This weekend we celebrate the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C.
Many of the readings today contrast the rich and the poor, denoting that the Lord defends those who are poor and brings justice upon the rich who try to take advantage of the poor.
The Psalm for today, taken from chapter 113, proclaims the Lord's dedication to those in need:
"Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor."
The Communion Antiphon for today emphasizes serving God by obeying his decrees. Taken from Psalm 119, verses 4 and 5, we read:
"You have laid down your precepts to be carefully kept;
may my ways be firm in keeping your statutes."
