Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God’s.’
Matthew 22:21
Our Lady of Lourdes
Rivonia Catholic Church
Loving God,
send us out as joyful
missionary disciples,
One in Christ, united in mission.
Renew our passion and love
for the Gospel and
for one another,
so that the world may know Your saving love.
Amen
In this Sunday's Gospel, critics try to trap Jesus by asking if it is lawful to pay taxes to Rome. Jesus famously replies: "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God."
A Roman coin belongs to Caesar because it bears Caesar's stamped image. By the same logic, you and I belong to God because we bear God's image (Genesis 1:27).
The world constantly tries to stamp us with its own image- telling us our worth through status, wealth, or politics. This week, Jesus reminds us of our true identity. Fulfil your earthly duties, but give your whole heart and life to God, because you belong entirely to Him.
