2 In these final weeks of the Church s year, our reading from Matthew 22:15-21 point towards what lies ahead. Today s gospel and that of next Sunday tell of the growing confrontation with the nation s leaders that will lead to Jesus death. And in our last three readings from Matthew s gospel Jesus warns his hearers that the end is approaching. The exchange recorded in today s gospel is well known. Matthew s brief account tells us a great deal about the situation that was developing in the last days of Jesus life. The Jewish people resented the Roman occupation of their country; now, those who have turned against Jesus exploit this situation to discredit him. The dilemma that Jesus is placed in by the question put to him about the paying of the Roman tax is brought out in Matthew s account by the composition of the group putting the question Pharisees and Herodians. The Pharisees represent Jews who have a real problem of conscience paying the tax. Strict Pharisees would have considered the inscription on the denarius handed to Jesus which almost certainly read, Tiberius Caesar, son of the divine Augustus, great high priest to be blasphemous. This influential group, dedicated to upholding the traditions of God s people, would have asked themselves whether they were compromising their principles by paying their tax with this coin. If Jesus encouraged the paying of the tax, he would not only offend the Pharisees, but also antagonize the common people who so resented the Roman rule. The Herodians, followers of Herod, had no scruples concerning the tax. If Jesus condemned the paying of the tax, he could be denounced for rebellion. The reply of Jesus, Then pay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God (Matthew 22:21) is not a clever evasion, as we may be led to think. With this reply, he turns the question back on his questioners taking the discussion beyond the level of the partisanship they are trying to exploit, he tells them that they are faced by a decision of conscience. As is so often the case think of our own times involvement in the political life of the nation is not a straightforward matter. The Romans had originally occupied the land at the invitation of Jewish leaders, bringing a relative stability that replaced a situation of continuing anarchy. Those living in the time of Jesus must ask themselves whether the presence the Romans was the lesser of two evils. God is Lord of all, certainly, Jesus is telling his listeners; but Jewish conscience must judge whether the Roman presence is providential, preventing a worse situation. We should note that Jesus invites the people to make their own judgment of conscience; he does not make it for them. We would misunderstand the reply of Jesus if we thought it was meant to instruct us about the relationship that should exist between Church and State. His reply concerns, not the order of politics, but the order of moral responsibility the individual s duty to participate in the life of the nation in a way that best promotes the common good of justice and peace. At a later date, when the Roman state became a demonic force intent on destroying the Church, defiance of the authorities was called for, and produced the martyrs who were the glory of the early Church.

3 "We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers loved by God, how you were chosen." (1 Thes 1:2-3) Kathy Loch (Fr. Patrick's administrative assistant and our office manager) was not available - what a time to take vacation! This week's leader of the counting ministry team dropped off a check on my desk. The numeric amount was written as "$ 5 0 0" and the line that should have verified the giver's intention as "five hundred and no/100" dollars was blank. Kathy always handles these delicate matters and she was nowhere to be found. I decided not to hand this task off to another on our capable staff - it was time for a "new" experience for me. I know, it seems simple - just ask, "is it 500, 50 or 5?" What I thought was, "if the amount is small, how can I ask and not cause any embarrassment?" It sounds silly now and it presupposes that any amount is "small" in God's eyes, but I was new at this and frankly, I was projecting my own feelings of embarrassment that I would feel if I could not give the bigger amount - ugh, the sin of pride. I also did not want to feel disappointment if I heard the smallest amount - ugh, the business manager "hat." She answered after two rings. She could not hear me at first because I was trying to keep my voice low. After posing my question again, in a voice far-too-loud-for-mycomfort, I heard the kindest, most gentle response with the words, "Oh sweetie, five dollars!" followed by words of thankfulness and joy! I thought instantly of the Gospel lesson of the widow's mite (Mark 12:41-44) and how blessed our parish community is to have so many giving and working in faith and laboring in love. The gift of the person that I called, combined with yours amounted to $28,039 in sacred giving this past weekend. Thank you! Deacon Steve TODAY TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY!

We adopt children of military families in the area, helping provide them a wonderful Christmas. REFLECTION Look out, Jesus, it s a trap! The religious leaders send two groups who are fighting with each other to ask Jesus the question about whether or not to pay taxes. They want him to get in the middle of the fight and whoever he agrees with they ll be able to accuse him of something. Jesus is tricky though and manages to completely bypass the trap. He brings the conversation to a higher level. Give to Caesar what is Caesar s, but give to God what is God s. What is God s? Everything! The coin may have Caesar s picture on it but the work that earned it, the person who holds it, and the merchant or tax collector who will receive it, all have God as their beginning and their end. Even the pagan king Cyrus in the First Reading is part of God s plan. Jesus reminds this argumentative bunch that the petty concerns of power and privilege really have no place in the heart of a person if that person s goal is to seek God. ACTION Start a change the world jar. All the loose change you have or find can go in the jar. When it s full, donate it to a charity that helps change the world! Even the smallest of actions can make a big difference. JOURNALING QUESTIONS What do you give to God already? Is there a skill or talent that you have been given by God that you use for the glory of God? If not, is there something you excel at that could be offered to God? Have you ever been stuck in the middle of an argument? Usually you can t win. If you choose one person s side the other will be mad. Often both sides are a little right and a little wrong. What could you do differently the next time you find yourself stuck in the middle? God s Word, Your World! 2014 Archdiocese of Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications. All rights reserved.

7 St. Irenaeus Parish School learning, believing, and serving together ST. IRENAEUS FUN RUN UPDATE After only two weeks of collecting donations, the students of St. Irenaeus Parish School were half way to their goal! They had collected $12,524 out of their $23,000 goal. Mrs. Hayden, our school principal, promised a crazy hair day once the student got to the half way point. That promise was carried out on Thursday, October 16th. With one more week to collect, students hope to hit the goal. If they do, Mrs. Hayden has promised to ride a scooter for an entire day! That s enough to motivate these kids to hit the mark. BRAIN POWER POINT OPPORTUNITIES We are well on our way in the Brain Power Mania Program sponsored by the Buena Park Mall. St. Irenaeus needs a lot of help, since we are in 23rd place out of 25 schools. For the month of October, we have some great opportunities to get back in the game. If you visit the new TJ Maxx Store and log your receipts by October 31st, our school gets 100 points per dollar. That s a huge opportunity! If you go to the Krikorian Theatre during October, don t take just your receipt to customer service but your ticket stub too. Our school will receive points for the ticket you bought, but also a 200 point bonus for the ticket stub. Lastly, you can support the Giving Children HOPE program that feeds children in Orange County. Many children in our public school communities don t have enough to eat. Giving Children HOPE provides food each weekend for these children to take home to their families. You can stop by customer service in the mall and drop off food items. Our school gets 100 points per pound. What s needed most is peanut butter, water, canned meats, oatmeal, and pasta. Please no glass items.

10 En estas últimas semanas del año de la Iglesia, nuestra lectura de Mateo 22: apuntan hacia lo que viene. El evangelio de hoy y la del próximo domingo hablan de la creciente confrontación con los líderes de la nación que dará lugar a la muerte de Jesús. Y en nuestras tres últimas lecturas del evangelio de Mateo, Jesús advierte a sus oyentes que el fin se acerca. El cambio registrado en el evangelio de hoy es bien conocido. El breve relato de Mateo nos dice mucho acerca de la situación que se estaba desarrollando en los últimos días de la vida de Jesús. El pueblo judío resentía la ocupación romana de su país; Ahora, los que se han puesto en contra de Jesús, explotan esta situación para desacreditarlo. El dilema en el que Jesús es colocado al preguntarle sobre el próximo pago del impuesto romano, se lleva a cabo en el relato de Mateo por la composición del grupo que formulara la pregunta - fariseos y herodianos. Los fariseos representan a los judíos que tenían un verdadero problema de conciencia al pagar el impuesto. Los Fariseos estrictos habrían considerado la inscripción en el denario entregado a Jesús en el que es casi seguro que leía: "Tiberio César, hijo del divino Augusto, gran sumo sacerdote" - como blasfemia. Este influyente grupo, dedicado a la defensa de las tradiciones del pueblo de Dios, se habría preguntado si estaba comprometiendo sus principios mediante el pago de sus impuestos con esta moneda. Si Jesús alentaba al pago del impuesto, no sólo ofendería a los fariseos, sino también antagonizaría a la gente común que resentía la dominación romana. Los herodianos, partidarios de Herodes, no tenía escrúpulos en materia del impuesto. Si Jesús condenó el pago del impuesto, podría ser denunciado por rebelión. La respuesta de Jesús: "Entonces, paguen al César lo que es del César y a Dios lo que es de Dios" (Mateo 22:21) no es una evasión inteligente, como podemos ser llevados a pensar. Con esta respuesta, se vuelve a la pregunta sobre sus interrogadores - tomando la discusión más allá del nivel del partidismo que están tratando de explotar, él les dice que ellos se enfrentan a una decisión de conciencia. Como suele ser el caso - piensen en nuestros tiempos - la participación en la vida política de la nación no es un asunto sencillo. Los romanos habían ocupado originalmente la tierra, por invitación de los líderes judíos, trayendo una relativa estabilidad que reemplazó a una situación de anarquía permanente. Los que vivían en la época de Jesús debieron preguntarse a sí mismos si la presencia de los romanos era el menor de dos males. Dios es el Señor de todos, sin duda, Jesús está diciendo a sus oyentes; pero la conciencia judía debe juzgar si la presencia romana es providencial, evitando una situación peor. Debemos tener en cuenta que Jesús invita a la gente a hacer su propio juicio de la conciencia; él no lo hace por ellos. Nosotros malinterpretaríamos la respuesta de Jesús si pensáramos que esta estaba destinada a instruirnos acerca de la relación que debe existir entre la Iglesia y el Estado. Su respuesta no concierne al orden de la política, sino al orden de la responsabilidad moral - el deber del individuo a participar en la vida de la nación, de una manera que promueva mejor el bien común de la justicia y la paz. Posteriormente, cuando el estado romano se convirtió en una fuerza demoníaca con intenciones de destruir la Iglesia, el desafío de las autoridades era necesario y esto produjo los mártires quienes fueron la gloria de la Iglesia primitiva. Con mis oraciones en Cristo, P. Patrick DOMUND DOMINGO MUNDIAL DE MISIONES Dios ama al que da con alegría» (2 Cor 9, 7). La Jornada Mundial de las Misiones es también un momento para reavivar el deseo y el deber moral de la participación gozosa en la misión ad gentes. La contribución económica personal es el signo de una oblación de sí mismos, en primer lugar al Señor y luego a los hermanos, para que la propia ofrenda material se convierta en un instrumento de evangelización de una humanidad que se construye sobre el amor.
