September 19, 2025 Daily Mass Reading

 https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/091925.cfm

"morbid disposition for arguments"
"supposing religion to be a means of gain."
"For the love of money is the root of all evils,"

"Though in his lifetime he counted himself blessed,
'They will praise you for doing well for yourself,'"
"For when he dies, he shall take none of it;
his wealth shall not follow him down."

"But you[...] avoid all this.
Instead, pursue righteousness, devotion,
faith, love, patience, and gentleness."
"Blessed the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs!"

see James 1-5. 
(This is the James that is a cousin of Jesus, the one who said the Gentiles should be allowed into the faith in Acts; he's not the same as the 2 Jameses that were Apostles.) He's a nice, inspired person.
*James says, pray for wisdom trusting in God's goodness (his words: without doubt)
*btw prayer is an important work itself; this is an interesting example: https://www.catholicexorcism.org/post/exorcist-diary-362-souls-in-purgatory-contacting-us
