The story sees a mixture of religion and politics, a potentially explosive combination. Jesus does not ask us to avoid politics, but that our involvement in the affairs of the world be informed by the perspective of the Reign of God. How does the Gospel give you a vision of how your involvement in society should be?
Pharisees and Herodians were not natural allies but a shared dislike of Jesus brought them together in an attempt to discredit him. Perhaps you experience the same opposition in society today when you profess to being a Christian or a Catholic. Jesus did not get into an argument with them but simply professed his belief helpful in bearing witness to the fact that are still a believing Christian or still go to church?
Volunteers are urgently needed to take the Children through their own liturgy during Mass time. Please contact the Parish Office if you would like to lend your support.
