Friday 03 October 2025 of the 26th Week in Ordinary Times
Baruch 1:15-22.
Psalm 139:1-3,7-10,13-14ab.
Gospel: Luke 10:13-16)
Introduction.
As we continue in Ordinary Time, today’s readings remind us of the majestic greatness of God and the seriousness of how we respond to His messengers. God speaks from the whirlwind, revealing His power and Jesus warns of the consequences when people reject His message.
Main Point (Summary)
God is infinitely powerful and supremely just, and He entrusts us with His Word those who hear it must accept it, for rejecting it is rejecting Him. (Job 38:1; Luke 10:16)
Homily / Reflection
In Job 38, the Lord speaks out of the storm and challenges Job’s understanding: “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?” The passage humbles human pride. Job realizes how small he is before the Creator and answers: “I am of little account.”
Then, in Luke 10:13-16, Jesus reproaches the cities that refuse to repent, reminding that “whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me.” The messengers of Christ carry His authority and rejecting them amounts to rejecting Christ and the One who sent Him.
Thus, we see two complementary truths: God’s transcendence and our human responsibility. We cannot presume levity toward divine revelation.
Concrete Examples
•When someone shares the Gospel with you even imperfectly listen with respect; their words carry more than human opinion.
•In daily life, be attentive to small promptings from God (in prayer, Scripture, conscience). Don’t dismiss them as trivial they may be His messengers.
•If someone offers spiritual counsel, advice, or a correction, receive it humbly, not harshly.
Way Forward (Living the Point)
1.Cultivate reverence before God. Recognize His grandeur in creation and in the Word.
2.Be open to spiritual messengers. Pray for a heart that hears, that can welcome correction, guidance, or challenge.
3.Speak God’s Word responsibly. If you are charged with teaching or witnessing, remember what you say represents Christ let integrity and humility guide you.
Short Prayer
Lord God, you speak from the heights and call us to listen. Grant me a humble heart to accept your Word and those who bring it. May I never reject your messenger, for in doing so I reject you. Strengthen me to live obediently under your voice. Amen.
