Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 19, 2014 “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God.” — Matthew 22:21 OVERVIEW OF THE GOSPEL: • This Sunday’s Gospel finds Jesus in Jerusalem just days before his Passion. He continues to offer his opponents a chance to repent until the very end, even as they conspire on how to destroy him. • Taking common cause with the Pharisees, another group, “the Herodians,” join the conspiracy against Jesus. This group (mentioned in the Scriptures only twice in Mark, and once in Matthew) were supporters of King Herod. They were comfortable with the Roman occupation that kept Herod in power and from which they profited economically. • The Pharisees, on the other hand, despised the Romans and Herod, and advocated passive resistance to their rule. Two more unlikely allies could hardly be imagined. • After insincerely trying to flatter Jesus (verse 16), the Pharisees and the disciples of the Herodians attempt to trick him into making a damaging statement (verse 17). If Jesus had answered, “Pay the tax,” the Pharisees would use it to discredit him before the people as a traitor to the Jews. Had he said, “Don’t pay the tax,” the Herodians would have turned him into the Romans as one advocating insurrection (as it turns out, even though he says the opposite, he was falsely accused of this at his trial; see Luke 23:2). QUESTIONS of the Sundays Gospel • In the Gospel Reading, why do the Herodians (allied to Rome) and the Pharisees (admired and influential religious separatists) make strange partners? How is Jesus a threat to each? • What would the social or political consequences have been if Jesus had simply said “Pay Caesar”? If he had said “Don’t pay Caesar”? • What does Jesus mean by his answer (verse 21)? What should we give to God? • What is Jesus teaching about the relationship between Church and State? Which obligation is primary? Why? • In your life, what belongs to Caesar? To God? How well are you giving to each? What prevents you from giving to God what is God’s?

LA VOZ LATINA Vigésimo Noveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 19 de octubre de 2014 “Den, pues, al César los que es del César, y a Dios lo que es de Dios”. — Mateo 22:21 TODO PERTENECE A DIOS La primera lectura del profeta Isaías tiene que ver con el rey persa Ciro, al que Dios llama “elegido”. Ciro merece este título ya que acabó con la cautividad de los judíos en Babilonia. No obstante, Jesús nos recuerda que fue Dios quien dio a Ciro su poder. Quizás sea un gran rey pero, “Yo soy el Señor, y no hay otro igual”, Dios dice (Isaías 45:5). El Evangelio de hoy también está relacionado con el poder mundano. En el pasaje de Mateo vemos como los fariseos intentan con artimañas que Jesús hable mal del emperador. Su conocida respuesta es la perfecta réplica. Al igual que los reyes de la antigüedad, el César debe ser respetado dada su posición pero todo pertenece a Dios. En la segunda lectura, Pablo da las gracias por todos los que son fieles a Jesucristo y su Evangelio. También él nos recuerda que nuestra llamada y el poder de ser fieles provienen de Dios. © J.S. Paluch Co. GUADALUPANA ASOCIACION -Estamos en el proceso de iniciar una asociación Guadalupana aquí en San Juan Bautista y los estamos invitando a ser parte de ella. Si siente llamado de Dios para una actividad en honor a nuestra santísima Virgen, póngase en contacto con la oficina de la Misión de San Juan Bautista. Deje su nombre y dirección para comunicar nos con ustedes. Dios los bendiga—Rafael Farfán y Diacono José Valenzuela MIRA QUIÉN HABLA Cuando el dinero habla, la verdad calla. —Proverbio ruso PALABRAS Y OBRAS Cuando la gente nos oye hablar sobre la palabra de Dios, se maravillan ante su hermosura y poder; cuando ven cuan poco impacto tiene en nuestra vida diaria, se ríen y hacen bromas sobre lo que decimos. —Anónimo del siglo II d.C. LA FAMILIA Así como la familia avanza, así avanza la nación y así avanza todo el mundo en el que vivimos. —Beato Juan Pablo II CATECISMO PARA ADULTOS Para todos los adultos los que tienen 18 años de edad y mayores. ¿Tiene necesidad de cumplir con su sacramento de la primera comunión y la confirmación? Las clases tendrán lugar los jueves a las 6:30 pm en la Biblioteca de la Parroquia. Los interesados deberán ponerse en contacto con la oficina parroquial para registrarse.
