EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD
The first reading from the prophet Isaiah concerns the Persian
King Cyrus, called the Lord’s “anointed.” Cyrus deserves this title
because he ended the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. However,
Isaiah reminds us that it was God who gave Cyrus his power. He
may be a great king, but “I am the LORD and there is no other,”
says God (Isaiah 45:5).
Today’s Gospel is also concerned with worldly power. In the
passage from Matthew, the Pharisees try to trick Jesus into
speaking against the emperor. His famous answer is the perfect
reply. Like the kings of old, Caesar can be given the respect due his
position, but everything belongs to God.
In the second reading, Paul gives thanks for all who are faithful
to Jesus Christ and his gospel. He, too, reminds us that our call and
the power to be faithful come from God.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
When the fathers of the Second Vatican Council met to
discuss the sacrament of penance, they were required to draw up
a new rite, including several forms. The hot button for debate was
so-called “general absolution,” by which a penitent could be
absolved of sin without confessing to a priest. This was a difficult
debate, compounded by widely varying traditions in both East
and West. Some were surprised to learn that the Holy See had
already given permission, during the First and Second World
Wars, for this form. In 1944 the Vatican issued a decree saying
this form was valid under extreme conditions, which bishops in
mission lands and Latin America took as a kind of “blanket
permission.”
Thus, the fathers of the Council were alarmed to find this
practice fairly widespread, not only in war, but in peaceful places
with huge numbers of faithful and few priests. Although they
eventually produced a ritual with three different forms, the forms
are not considered equal, and the enriched and revised individual
form is preferred. The enrichments include a welcome of the
penitent, a sign of the cross with an encouragement to trust in
God’s compassion, new texts rich in the Word of God, praise for
God’s mercy, and a dismissal.
