“Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to
God what belongs to God”
This famous quotation -“Give to Caesar what
belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to
God” has been one of the timeless quotes in
human history because today it still speaks to our
sensibility in our everyday affairs. On the other
hand, it has been sometimes misrepresented and
misused. In the gospel, the actions of the
Pharisees and the Herodians, two different and
opposing groups, teaming up to use the question
about taxes to test Jesus in order to have
something against him and have him killed, showed
how uncomfortable and uneasy they were with the
soul searching teachings of Jesus.
Nevertheless, Jesus being aware of their
mischief and evil intentions gave a disarming
response - “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
and to God what belongs to God.” This has been
described by many scholars as an elusive
response. However, Christ by that statement, made
it implicitly clear that respect to Caesar, by
extension civil authorities which is a moral
duty, must not be at the detriment of our faith
and the worship we give to God, who is
revealed in the first reading as the Lord
unrivalled by any other god. Again, as R.J.
Rushdoony puts it, “He wanted to deliver them, in
the Socratic manner, not a priori, but a posteriori.
Not their logical or moral sense, but their historical
situation and attitude would bring the truth to light.
[Because Jesus knew that] something is to be
seen, and deduced, from the denarius itself.”
Jesus’ message is that life is a unity; it is
not separated as a result of our religious and
civil obligations. God willed it that we live our
life in the world paying taxes, obeying secular
laws and working for the betterment of the
society, though with our eyes set on our
commitment to the creator who owns
everything (Psalm 24:1) including Caesar. In the
world today and in different countries, there are
laws that are oppressive to the plight of women, the
refugees and the poor. Amidst such situation, we
ought to live our life with the mindset of obedience
to God and when laws are morally
questionable to become instruments
of God’s love and justice.

COMMUNION HYMN
For the Beauty of the Earth
1. For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
3. For your church, that ever more
Lifts its holy hands above,
Off’ring up on ev’ry shore
Its pure sacrifice of love:
(R) Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
4. For yourself, best Gift Divine!
To this world so freely giv’n;
Word Incarnate, God’s design,
Peace on earth and joy in heav’n:
2. For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light:

In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heav’ns with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

Holy Spirit, Three we name you;
While in essence only One,
Undivided God we claim you,
And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.
Harrison Oxley (1933-2009)
My Shepherd is Lord, I have all I need, giving me rest in green and pleasant fields,
reviving my soul by finding fresh water, guiding my ways with a shepherd’s need.
My shepherd is Lord, I have all I need. Though I should walk in death’s dark valley,
I fear no evil with you by my side, your shepherd’s staff to comfort me.
You spread my table in sight of my foes anoint my head, my cup runs over,
you tend me with love always loyal. I dwell with the Lord as long as I live.

O sing unto the Lord, unto the Lord a new song, sing unto the Lord all the whole earth.
Sing unto the Lord and praise His Name, be telling of His salvation from day to day.
Oh sing unto the Lord a new song, sing unto the Lord all the whole earthy.
For He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth, and with righteousness to judge
the world and the people with His truth.
O sing unto the Lord, unto the Lord a new song, sing unto the Lord all the whole earth.
