Gospel Reflection : Matthew 22:15-21
Jesus too is full of surprises! When his enemies think
they have laid the perfect trap for him, Jesus doesn't
get caught. His questioners ask whether it is against
God's law to pay taxes to the Roman emperor, a
pagan ruler. If Jesus says yes, he will be in trouble with
the Romans. If he says no, he will be in trouble with the
majority of his own people. Jesus gives a masterful
answer. He tells his questioners that if they use Caesar's
money, then they have to pay for it. But they must also
pay what belongs to God, who takes care of our
needs. Jesus' answer addresses a much more important
issue: our relationship with God. What would you say
that in your life belongs to Caesar? What belongs to
God? Can you think of any issues in our country where
the ideas of the government might be a problem to one
who is trying to live for God?
We thank Fr Nards for celebrating the Morning
weekday Masses and welcome Fr Michael Hickey for
celebrating the Holy Mass this weekend until I come
back from my holidays.
Peace be with you!!!
On the second Sunday of each month, at 11.00am, a Mass is celebrated in

Parish Diary
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS :
The Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults (RCIA) is a process where men
and women at all stages of their faith can come to
a non-threatening, non-pressured atmosphere to
learn more about in the Catholic Church. The RCIA
is open to anyone who is interested in learning
more about the Christian faith and guides them to
know God’s forgiveness and healing grace.
If you know anyone who is interested to learn
about the Catholic Church please contact the RCIA
team:
