Deacon Randy Kiel: When the Lowly are Heard — Reflecting on the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time - 10/23/2025

Episode Summary

Deacon Randy Kiel prepares us for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time by exploring how Scripture reveals God’s preferential care for the poor and lowly, and calls us to live with humility and justice before Him.

Episode Notes

Deacon Randy Kiel, founder of Kardia Counseling, joins us for a Gospel preparation segment focusing on the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time readings (Lectionary 150). The First Reading from Sirach highlights that “the prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds” and that God hears the cry of the widow and orphan. USCCB The Gospel echoes the theme with a vivid call to humility and service. Deacon Randy helps us understand how these readings challenge our priorities and invite us into deeper compassion and action.
