Paying taxes is often unpleasant, but requires little selfinvestment. We know that a portion of our income must go back to the government, but what then, exactly, belongs to God? God does not seek our financial resources. What belongs to God is something that we sometimes want to keep to ourselves or divide in different places. What belongs to God is our hearts. We owe everything to God, even our very being. Without God we are nothing. God patiently continues to tell the world: "I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me." How do we unite the varied allegiances of our hearts into one under God?

3 XXIX Sunday in Ordinary Time "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." The Pharisees, full of malice, were trying to "entrap Jesus in speech." They concocted a question that flattered him, saying, "You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth," but which also put Him in a position to be in big trouble if He challenged the Roman laws. Jesus, of course, escaped the trap with His brilliant reply. We can appreciate the wisdom of His response, but more importantly, we can appreciate what it means for us. To repay to Caesar, in this case, meant to give appropriate allegiance to the secular authorities. We too are under such authority, and although Uncle Sam is different than Caesar in countless ways, the fact remains that as constituents of this country who enjoy its many benefits, we are also called to extend a certain kind of tribute to our government. Taxes, yes, but more than that too. The loyalty and patriotism that offers our gifts in service to the good of our nation is also a tribute we Christians should make in good faith. Only when a law of our land contradicts the moral principles of God do we have to follow our primary allegiance instead, namely, our allegiance to Christ. Unfortunately, in our day we live under certain national laws that do conflict with the truth about human dignity, and thus a tension exists for us. But the course is clear. We must repay "to God what belongs to God" by defending the truth even when it may be unpopular. This kind of courage is what built the Church in those early centuries of persecution when practicing our Faith was against the law. Heaven forbid this should ever happen to us. But if it does, we know what must be done. Why Do We Do That? Catholic Traditions Explained Question: To solve the shortage of priests in this country, why can't we bring in priests from other countries where they have enough? Answer: This is a common question that makes one wonder, where exactly is this country where there are so many priests? The place does not exist, but it raises some interesting issues, including people's attitudes towards priests. Firstly, diocesan priests are ordained for a diocese to serve the needs of their own people. Much of their ministry is based on a knowledge of cultural norms, customs and values. They are called from their local communities to serve local needs. They are not all foreign missionaries. Secondly, Americans often assume wrongly that people of other nations are anxious to come to the US. Priests, like any of us, want to be close to family and friends and do not necessarily see us as having the land of wonder and opportunity. Thirdly, the priesthood is changing and people need to adapt. In the short-term, things will be difficult. There may not always be a Mass in your parish every day or even every week. In the long run, the Holy Spirit will have to show us what we are to do. Fourth, ministry is everyone's responsibility, so get involved! Finally, show your appreciation and concern for the priests we do have. They have a tough job and it is not getting any easier. Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace... Peace will be the last word of history. -St. John Paul II Feast of Saint John Paul II As we celebrate the Feast of Saint John Paul II this Sunday, below are some of the things that you might not remember about Saint John Paul II: St John Paul II had a special devotion to the Divine Mercy; in the year 2000, he officially designated the first Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday which he himself had founded. John Paul II was beatified in 2011 by Benedict XVI, and was canonized three years later by Pope Francis on the feast of Divine Mercy. Poland s historical and cultural inheritance filled John Paul II with hope, strength, and courage to open wide the doors of Christ. Please Pray for...

Zmarły 2 kwietnia 2005 r. pierwszy w dziejach Papież Polak jest jednym z najszybciej wyniesionych na ołtarze wyznawców w czasach nowożytnych. Błogosławionym ogłosił go 1 maja 2011 r. obecny papież senior Benedykt XVI, a 27 kwietnia 2014 r. kanonizował go pierwszy Biskup Rzymu z Argentyny i Ameryki Łacińskiej papież Franciszek. Janie Pawle II nasz święty orędowniku, wspomożycielu w trudnych sprawach Ty, który swoim życiem świadczyłeś wielką miłość do Boga i ludzi; Prowadząc nas drogą Jezusa i Maryi w umiłowaniu obojga, pragnąc pomagać innym. Przez miłość i wielkie cierpienie ofiarowane za bliźnich, co dzień zbliżałeś się do świętości. Pragnę prosić Cię o wstawiennictwo w mojej sprawie... Wierząc, że przez Twoją wiarę, modlitwę i miłość pomożesz zanieść ją do Boga z ufnością w miłosierdzie Boże i moc Twej Papieskiej modlitwy. Pragnę przez Jezusa i Maryje za Twoim przykładem zbliżać się do Boga. Ojcze nasz... Zdrowaś Maryjo... Chwała Ojcu...
