Responsorial Psalm
The Responsorial Psalm for this weekend is:
(Psalm 96)
Give the Lord glory and honor.
St. Michael Church, Windham, OH
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.
