I have always liked studying, and I find great pleasure in learning new things, thinking about them and pondering them. One of the dangers I fell prey to as a student was trying to push my instructors with difficult questions. Part of my desire in asking the questions was to move the discussion deeper into the topic we were struggling with, but I do have to admit that another, less attractive, motive was to show-off my own hard work and understanding. I sometimes liked putting my instructors in a corner or to push them to the limits of our discussion to show the inadequacy of our understanding. More often than not I ended up showing my own limited understanding and being embarrassed by my own arrogance. In today’s Gospel Jesus’ opponents believe that they have finally found a way to discredit him and place him in danger of losing the support of the people who follow him or of coming to the attention of hostile authorities. The question of taxes to the emperor was not an argument about the high cost of government or the proper role of government in society. The Romans were occupiers of the Jewish homeland, and the paying of taxes to the emperor was in fact paying for the oppression of your own people and the occupation of your homeland. The Jewish people were resentful of paying these taxes, and support of the emperor would be seen as a betrayal. On the other hand public advocacy of non-compliance with the Romans would place Jesus in the dangerous position of advocating rebellion against a very powerful enemy. The Pharisees had designed a trap with this question, and they enter the scene certain of their own victory over the Lord. Jesus’ answer to their dishonest question takes them by surprise. In one shrewd move Jesus defeats them. He refuses to be side-tracked by their plot, gives an answer that neither offends his followers’ dislike of Roman rule nor places him outside of Roman law. Instead Jesus turns the question into a challenge to reflect on a deeper question. Jesus’ reply, "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God," sets aside the political question of taxes and goes to the more central question of faith, mercy, and God’s loving plan of salvation. The trap set today by the Pharisees becomes a challenge to examine our own conscience. At the heart of Jesus’ reply is an invitation for us to reflect on who God is, what he means in our lives and how we will relate to his mercy and love. If God is the source of life, of all blessing and goodness, then what do I owe him in return? The implication of Jesus’ reply is that our lives are not our own, they belong to God, and that our whole being is to glorify, praise and proclaim him. Our life, our work, our joy, our sorrow, our triumphs, our failures, our very selves are what we return to God in humble recognition of his love and mercy. Fr.

Once again this year our parish plans to create a shrine to the saints in front of the altar for All Saints Day and the month of November. If you can help us by lending us your statues of saints for the month, please drop them off with Kelly Le Crone at the liturgy office at church. Your generous lending will help us create a fitting honor to the saints and heroes of our faith. MUSIC NEEDS: Each year our musicians need updates and supplements for their accompaniment books and our musicians and cantors need books with the Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations for the year. If you are interested in helping with these costs please talk to Kelly LeCrone, our AFC liturgist, or with Shirley Nowak in the parish office. These generous volunteers serve us well, and these necessary materials allow them to lead us in song and in praising the Lord. VETERAN’S MEMORIAL PROJECT OF THE AMERICAN LEGION AND VFW: Over a year ago, a committee was formed with representatives from the Glencoe American Legion and the Glencoe Veterans of Foreign Wars to determine if there was enough support to create a Veteran’s Memorial in Glencoe. They received approval in May from the city to create a Glencoe Area Veteran’s Memorial on the northwest section of the City Center grounds. It is their intention to honor all Veterans from the Glencoe area. This memorial is for all Veterans, alive and deceased. They are inviting anyone from the community who has served our nation to be recognized. Friends or family members may submit an order form to honor a veteran associated with our community. The cost for each Veteran’s name and information that will be recognized on one of the monuments is $200. Their plan is to install the first monuments, flag pole and sidewalk area before Memorial Day of 2015. If you want your name listed on one of the first two monuments, don’t delay in responding. The first 96 names will be gathered prior to November 1st. For more information, please contact one of the committee members or stop by the VFW and view the display and a sample of the granite that will be used. Committee members are: Dale Peters 864-3282; Jerry Scharpe 864-5380; Larry Gutknecht 864-5392; Jim Entinger 920-328-7512 and James Peters 507-479-0389. THE RE CONNECTION Have you ever noticed how much reverb is in the final mix on the old Ritchie Valens recordings? The notes veritably echo with a haunting air as they are conjured up from days gone by to spin again on the turntables of today. Go to your record collection right now, slide a Ritchie Valens album out of the sleeve and onto your record player and try it. See what I mean? What’s that? You don’t have a record collection anymore, and your turntable hasn’t spun since President Reagan’s first term? Well, then I guess you’ll have to take my word for it. So how do our catechists get the kiddos to take to heart what they are describing our precious Faith to be on Wednesday Nights? How can Commandments, Beatitudes, and Precepts possess any endearing qualities if all they seem to do at first glance is inhibit and impose? If all the kiddos were able to do is read the important articles of our Faith, it would have about as much impact as you trying to simply hear what I was telling you about Ritchie Valens’ music, without the benefit of actually hearing Ritchie Valens’ music. Fortunately for the kiddos, our catechists serve as quasi-turntables, on which their blessed hearts and souls spin the glorious melodies that are their lives…lives rich in the heavenly tune directed by Our Blessed Lord, which gracefully calls out to those willing to listen and see what lives lived in Faith can be. And for you guys, I guess just feel free to stop into my office sometime and we’ll give the ‘ol Ritchie Valens album a whirl!

Please join, on this special day, in praying for our priests, in praising God for their courage and their generosity. The Good Shepherd SERRA Club of the Diocese of New Ulm urges all parishioners to make appreciation for their parish priest known. A simple note, a smile or a phone call to assure him of your loving care and gratitude for his presence in the life of our local churches will go a long way to serve the greater good of our wonderful Catholic Church! The challenge issued by St John Paul the Great, to our priests and to all, was ... “to go out on the streets and into public places, like the first Apostles who preached Christ and the Good News of salvation in the squares of cities, towns and villages. This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel (cf. Rom 1:16). It is the time to preach it from the rooftops (cf. Mt 10:27).” Upcoming Community Events FEAST OF ST.
