TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year C

First Reading: Amos 8:4-7

A reading from the book of the prophet Amos.

Listen to this, you who trample on the needy
and try to suppress the poor people of the country,
you say, “When will the New Moon be over
so that we can sell our corn,
and the sabbath, so that we can market our wheat?
Then by lowering the bushel, raising the shekel,
by swindling and tampering with the scales,
We can buy up the poor for money,
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
and get a price even for the sweepings of the wheat.”

Yahweh swears it by the pride of Jacob,
“Never will I forget a single thing you have done.”

The Word of God recorded in the book of the prophet Amos.

R: Praise Our God who lifts up the poor.

You faithful ones of Our God, praise,

praise the Name of Our God!

Blessed be the Name of Our God!

Henceforth and forever!

R: Praise Our God who lifts up the poor.

High over all nations, O God,

Your glory transcends the heavens!

Who is like You, O God?

Seated in judgment so high, You need to stoop

To see the sky and the earth!

R: Praise Our God who lifts up the poor.

You raise the poor from the dust

and lift the needy from the dunghill,

To give them a place with the princes,

with the princes of Your own people.
