Daily Mass Readings for September 21, 2025: Gospel — Lc 16,1-13 ou 10-13

⁴ Listen to this, you who trample the needy and do away with the destitute in the land. ⁵ You say, “When will the new moon festival be over, so we can sell grain? When will the Sabbath end, so we can open up the grain bins? We’re eager to sell less for a higher price, and to cheat the buyer with rigged scales! ⁶ We’re eager to trade silver for the poor, a pair of sandals for the needy. We want to mix in some chaff with the grain!” ⁷ The Lord confirms this oath by the arrogance of Jacob: “I swear I will never forget all you have done!

¹ First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, ² even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. ³ Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, ⁴ since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God and one intermediary between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human, ⁶ who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time. ⁷ For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle—I am telling the truth; I am not lying—and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. ⁸ So I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or dispute.
