Today is
World Mission Sunday
We’re
all Missionaries! Do you know the date of
your Baptism? Well, on that day, you
became a missionary, called by our Lord to
share your faith with those around you-and
to be part of the Church’s mission to
the world. Jesus Himself directed His
followers to go into the whole world and
proclaim His Gospel--the “Good
News” of His love for us--to all
people (see Mark 16:15). That mission is
now directed to each one of us. On World
Mission Sunday, we have the opportunity to
be part of the Church’s missionary
work in Asia, Africa, Latin America and
the Pacific Islands through our prayers
and support offered to the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith.
Marriage
Initiative Calls us to
Countercultural
We are
called to participate in the civic process
as a means of witnessing the Gospel values
of love, compassion and respect for all
life. If we do this, the world will be a
better place for all. That is why our
Church has taken such a strong position in
the upcoming state ballot measure that
will decide how marriage is defined in
California. Like St.Paul, our care and
concern extend beyond our existing
Catholic communities. This is where the
true importance of Proposition 8 lies--in
the precedent it would set for society.
With the validation of law, this new
definition of marriage will take root in
our society, undermining God’s plan
for creation.

Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 22:15-21
Jesus too is full of
surprises! When his enemies think they
have laid the perfect trap for him, Jesus
doesn’t get caught. His questioners
ask whether it is against God’s law
to pay taxes to the Roman emperor, a pagan
ruler. If Jesus says yes, he will be in
trouble with the Romans. If he says no, he
will be in trouble with the majority of
his own people. Jesus gives a masterful
answer. He tells his questioners that if
they use Caesar’s money, then they
have to pay for it. But they must also pay
what belongs to God, who takes care of our
needs. Jesus’ answer addresses a much
more important issue: our relationship
with God.
1.) Jesus’ enemies want to trap
him and they start the conversation by
saying nice things. What do they say? What
is the trick question they finally ask?
Does Jesus answer?
2.) What would you say that in your
life belongs to Caesar? What belongs to
God?
3.) Can you think of any issues in
our country where the ideas of the
government might be a problem to one who
is trying to live for God?
