God’s not just watching, He’s heartbroken.
This week on All Set for Sunday, Fr. Christian Raab joins Scott and Jeff to break open the readings for the Twenty fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Amos calls out the wealthy who rush past the Sabbath to get back to exploiting the poor, and God is not having it.
Listen for these key themes:
• First Reading (Amos 8:4–7): Crooked scales and greedy hearts are not just bad economics, they are a moral crisis.
• Psalm 113: “Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor.” God sides with the lowly when no one else does.
• Second Reading (1 Timothy 2:1–8): Pray for everyone, including leaders, because God wants all to be saved.
• Gospel (Luke 16:1–13): Fr. Christian takes the short form and spotlights Jesus’ clear warning, You cannot serve God and mammon.
Fr. Christian explains the prophet as the one who feels God’s own heart for the present moment. If our choices increase profit while ignoring people, we have missed the point.
And speaking of mercy, Fr. Christian ties it all back to the Jubilee Year of Hope, encouraging all of us to put our faith into action through the works of mercy.
