Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

October 5, 2025

In this Sunday’s Gospel, the apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith. He reminds them that even faith the size of a mustard seed can do great things, and calls his followers to live as faithful servants, trusting in God’s power rather than their own.
