9th Sunday After Pentecost 2025

On the heels of Jesus’ parable of the Rich Fool, which was last week’s Reading, Jesus continues the discussion with His disciples. Unlike the rich farmer who was consumed with building a big nest egg, having built larger barns for the excess of the plentiful harvest, our Lord wants His disciples to pay attention and learn a lesson from the ravens and from the lilies. In short, He wants us to realize and treasure the outstanding gift of having God as our heavenly Father.
