Sundays and Holy Days in September 2025
23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday September 7, 2025
The 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C is about making real choices in following Jesus. Being His disciple takes commitment. It means putting Him first, even when it is hard. Jesus asks us to think carefully about what it means to follow Him. Faith is not just words or feelings. It asks for action, trust, and sacrifice.
These readings show that we need God’s help to live this way. Our own understanding is not enough. We need His wisdom to guide us. Following Jesus also changes how we treat others. We are called to love and welcome everyone as part of God’s family. This Sunday challenges us to look at our priorities and ask if we are ready to live for Christ above everything else.
Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Sunday September 14, 2025
The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross celebrates the Cross as the sign of Jesus’ love and victory. It honors the sacrifice Jesus made to save us from sin. The Cross, once a symbol of suffering and death, became a sign of hope and new life because of His resurrection. It shows that God can bring good even from pain.
This feast also calls us to live with faith and trust. The Cross teaches us to face our struggles with courage, offering them to God as Jesus did. It is not only a symbol to look at but a way of life. Carrying our own crosses means accepting hardships with love and hope. The Exaltation of the Holy Cross invites us to place our trust in Christ and believe that His victory over death can guide us through our own trials.
25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday September 21, 2025
The 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C focuses on living with honesty and faithfulness. It calls us to put God above money and use what we have to serve others. Wealth and possessions are not bad, but they should never control us. God wants us to act with fairness, care for the poor, and live in a way that reflects His love.
This Sunday also teaches about prayer and trust. We are called to pray for everyone, including leaders, asking for peace and guidance in the world. Faithful living means being honest in small things, using our resources wisely, and choosing God first. Our choices show where our loyalty is, and we are invited to live with integrity and kindness every day.
26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday September 28, 2025
The 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C focuses on justice, mercy, and how we treat others. It warns against living only for comfort and ignoring those in need. Wealth and possessions are not the problem, but selfishness and indifference lead us away from God. Faith is shown in how we care for others, especially the poor and weak.
This Sunday also calls us to live with virtue and hope. Choosing kindness, patience, and love keeps us close to God. Our choices have eternal meaning, and caring for others shows that we follow His way. Living with compassion and generosity brings true joy and prepares us for life with Him.
