                                            Tuesday, October 21, 2025 (the 
Tuesday of the Twenty-Ninth Week in Ordinary Time) in the Catholic liturgical calendar, a fitting word based on today's Mass readings and reflections is:
Greed
Source/Context: Today's Gospel reading is often taken from Luke 12:13-21, which includes the Parable of the Rich Fool. Jesus warns the crowd: "Take care to guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." (Luke 12:15)
Meaning: (Noun) An intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. In a spiritual context, it is often tied to the deadly sin of Avarice.
Spiritual Reflection: The word reminds us that true security and richness are found not in accumulating earthly treasures, but in being "rich toward God" (Luke 12:21)—that is, in acts of faith, charity, and generosity.
