0:00.0	You're listening to I Pray with the Gospel on the St. Jose Maria Institute podcast.
0:23.4	In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with profound reverence. I ask your
0:30.2	pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful. My Immaculate Mother, St. Joseph,
0:36.2	my Father and Lord, my guardian angel, intercede for me.
0:40.9	The 25th Sunday in ordinary time. A reading from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 16.
0:47.9	He who is faithful, and very little, is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in
0:56.2	much. If then, you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true
1:02.7	riches? He who is faithful in very little is faithful also in much.
1:13.5	Our faithfulness to God is shown in little things.
1:17.6	If we aren't faithful in the little things, how can we be faithful in the big ones?
1:21.4	It would be like wanting to be a martyr and give your life to God,
1:25.1	and at the same time being unable to get up on time out of laziness or complaining because because the soup is cold, or the coke is warm.
1:30.7	If you can't offer a little sacrifice, how could you ever offer a big one?
1:36.4	How important are the little things? Great holiness consists in carrying out the little duties of each
1:41.0	moment, teaches St. Jose Maria. Our holiness won't probably depend on being
1:45.5	able to die as a martyr for Christ, but on being able to live daily for Christ. Martyrs are not
1:51.8	holy because they were martyrs. They were martyrs because they were holy before. Saints live some
1:57.4	extraordinary moments, but 99% of their lives were like yours.
2:01.5	Get up on time in the morning.
2:03.2	Tidy your room.
2:04.7	Be on time for class.
2:06.0	Study.
