29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)



Readings: Isaiah 45 1. 4-6; 1 Thessalonians 1: 1-5; Matthew 22: 15-21

Gospel Passage: He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." (Matthew 22: 20-21)

Meditation: The usual distinction of what is God’s and Caesar’s usually comes to mind with the above passage.  But the real challenge posed by the Gospel is to discern God’s will in our life and act truthfully according to His will. The false distinction and/or separation between God’s and the world’s that we do pose is simply an escape from truly listening to God’s call pointing to a life and behavior of true disciples.
