This Sunday's Gospel - Twenty Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

You cannot be slaves both of God and of money.

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘The man who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great; the man who is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in great. If then you cannot be trusted with money, that tainted thing, who will trust you with genuine riches? And if you cannot be trusted with what is not yours, who will give you what is your very own?

‘No servant can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money.’

A beginning point for discussion of this week's Gospel with children:

Who are the people you trust?
What does it mean when you trust someone?
Jesus trusts us and wants us to be honest and choose the right path. How do we show we are honest?
When can things stop us from choosing the way of Jesus?
What can we do?
