Welcome to our Channel my dear friends and fellow Believers as the sun rises and a new day unfolds before us let us take a moment to reflect on the Abundant Blessings that come with the dawn of each day in the gentle caress of the Morning Light we are reminded of the everpresent grace
And Providence of our heavenly father dear brothers and sisters this Sunday the gospel of the 29th week of ordinary time is taken from St m Matthew which tells us about the Pharisees who tested Jesus they asked him if it was legal or not legal to pay taxes to
Caesar and above all they tested Jesus this topic will surely be at the center of the commentary of Pope Francis 2 we have remembered that this Sunday is World Mission Sunday a day in which the universal church prays for the missionaries and collaborates to support these missionaries and the miss misss in
Different parts of the world this month of October is Rich because it is dedicated not only to the missions but it is also dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Europe above all it is the month of the Rosary and in a particular way the church is living a special time with the
Senate of Bishops this 16th ordinary general assembly of the Senate of bishops from October 4th to the 29th of this month more than 460 senal fathers and mothers are gathered here reflecting and meditating on what communion is participation and Mission in the church a senal process as we remember began in
September 2021 and will culminate in October 2024 now let us share the important words of Pope Francis he approached the window of the apostolic Palace and said dear brothers and sisters good morning morning the gospel of today’s liturgy tells us that some Pharisees are joining the herodians to set a trap if
He says no to paying taxes he can be accused of rebellion against the empire it’s a real trap but he escapes from this trap he asks to be shown a coin that has Caesar’s image printed on it and tells them give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and God what is
God’s what does this mean to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s these words of Jesus have become common usage but have sometimes been used in the wrong way or at least reductive to talk about the relations between the church and the state between Christians and
Politics they are often understood as if Jesus wanted to separate Caesar and God that is the Earthly reality and the spiritual reality sometimes we also think think like this one thing is Faith with its practices and something else is everyday life this is not like that this is
Schizophrenia as if Faith had nothing to do with concrete life with the challenges of society with social justice with politics and so on in reality Jesus wants to help us Place Caesar in God each one in its importance Caesar is politically related to the Civil insan I ities in the social
And economic processes that are the care of the Earthly order and we who are immersed in this reality must restore to society what it offers us through our contribution as responsible citizens paying attention to what is entrusted to us promoting Law And Justice in the world of work honestly paying taxes
Committing ourselves to the common good and so on but at the same time Jesus affirms the fundamental reality that man belongs to God every man and every human being this means that we do not belong to any Earthly reality to any Caesar of this world we belong to the Lord and we
Should not be slaves to any worldly power on the coin therefore there is the image of Caesar but just as the image of God is imprinted in our lives nothing and no one can obscure Caesar belongs to the things of this world world but man belongs to
God let us not forget that he is returning to each of us our own identity in the currency of this world there is the image of Caesar but you each one of us what image do we carry inside let’s ask this question I what image do I carry inside
Me who are you the image of in your life we remember to belong to Mr model by the law logic of the world and we make the work of the politics of money our Idols to worship May the holy virgin help us recognize and honor our dignity and that of every human
Being now we are preparing to receive the blessing of Pope Francis Lord bless us all with the holy spirit amen dear brothers and sisters once again my thoughts turn to what is happening in Israel and Palestine I am very worried and in great pain I
Pray and am close to all those who are wounded hostages and the victims and their families who suffer the serious humanitarian situation I think of the serious humanitarian situation in Gaza and it pains me that the Anglican hospital and the Greek Orthodox Parish have also been bombed in recent
