Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar,
and to God what belongs to God.”—Matthew 22:21
EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD
The first reading from the prophet Isaiah concerns the Persian King Cyrus, called the
Lord’s “anointed.” Cyrus deserves this title because he ended the Babylonian captivity
of the Jews. However, Isaiah reminds us that it was God who gave Cyrus his power.
He may be a great king, but “I am the LORD and there is no other,” says God (Isaiah
45:5).
Today’s Gospel is also concerned with worldly power. In the passage from Matthew,
the Pharisees try to trick Jesus into speaking against the emperor. His famous answer
is the perfect reply. Like the kings of old, Caesar can be given the respect due his position, but everything belongs to God.
In the second reading, Paul gives thanks for all who are faithful to Jesus Christ and his
gospel. He, too, reminds us that our call and the power to be faithful come
from God.
St. John Paul II

October 7th - On the feast day of Our Lady of Rosary, our parish Rosary Novena concluded. Thank you to those who
participated especially to the members of the different ministries who came to lead the rosary and to Barbara
McDonough, president of HS-CCW for the refreshments.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION - When the fathers of the Second Vatican Council met to discuss the sacrament of penance, they were required to draw up a new rite, including several forms. The hot button for debate was so-called
“general absolution,” by which a penitent could be absolved of sin without confessing to a priest. This was a difficult debate, compounded by widely varying traditions in both East and West. Some were surprised to learn that the Holy See had already given permission, during the First and Second World Wars, for this form. In 1944 the Vatican issued a decree saying this form was valid under extreme conditions, which bishops in mission lands and Latin America took as a kind of “blanket permission.”
Thus, the fathers of the Council were alarmed to find this practice fairly widespread, not only in war, but in peaceful places with
huge numbers of faithful and few priests. Although they eventually produced a ritual with three different forms, the forms are not
considered equal, and the enriched and revised individual form is preferred. The enrichments include a welcome of the penitent, a
sign of the cross with an encouragement to trust in God’s compassion, new texts rich in the Word of God, praise for God’s mercy,
and a dismissal. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
