26th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C (2022)

The readings for Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year C call us to care about others. In the first reading (Amos 6:1A, 4-7) we are warned against being complacent while others suffer. The psalm (Psalm 146:7, 8-9, 9-10) praises the justice of God. In the second reading (1 Timothy 6:11-16) Paul reminds us to pursue virtues. In the gospel (Luke 16:19-31) Jesus tells the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, where a wealthy man ignored the needs of a poor man every day.

Am I willing to get outside of my comfort zone and care for my brothers and sisters in need? Here are some ideas:

Pursue Righteousness, Devotion, Faith, Love, Patience, and Gentleness

But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Compete well for the faith.

Do One of the Corporal Works of Mercy

The gospels show us that Jesus reached out to those in need. His life is a model for how we should interact with others. One way to do this is through the Corporal Works of Mercy. Consider looking at these and doing one with the Catholic youth in your life. #service #charity #mercy #LoveOneAnother
