From the Pastor’s Desk: Reflection: Matthew 22,15-21 We are all familiar with today’s gospel passage in which Jesus takes the coin and to those who are trying to catch him in speech, makes the well-known re-sponse: Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. If Jesus had said that one should not pay the Roman tax, then the Leaders

of the people could go to the Roman governor and accuse Jesus of treason. If he say people should pay the tax, then they could go and tell the people he was not a true Israelite since he said people should pay the tax to the hated Roman conquerors. The Book of Genesis says that God created all things. God did not separate creation, saying “this is for me, but this is for someone else” Everything was created by God and belongs to him. When Jesus says to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God, he hopes the people understand the truth that everything belongs to God, even Caesar’s part. What we use to render to Caesar first comes to us from God as his gift to us. A job, employment, a family and the things we can pur-chase and obtain through the wages we earn-these are all from God, who gives us all good things. We are called, knowing that all things belong to God, to treat everything with the love, respect and dignity he gave them when he created all things. Above all, we have the important duty to apply this approach to the high point of God’s creation: People. Thank you Note: A very special thanks to the Festival Committee, the volunteers and everyone who helped in our Annual Parish Festival. The help of several people and several hours of preparation is needed for an event this big. Your time, participation and contributions are truly and greatly appreciated.

Del Escritorio del Pastor: Reflexión: Mateo 22,15-21 Todos estamos familiarizados con el pasaje evangélico de hoy en el que Jesús toma la moneda y les dice a los que tan tratando de atraparlo con sus palabras hace esta respuesta muy conocida. “Por tanto, den a César lo que es del César y a Dios lo que a Dios Corresponde”. Si Jesús hubiera dicho que no hay que pagar el impuesto Romano, los líderes del pueblo podían ir al gobernador Romano y acusar a Jesús de traición. Si se les dice que deben pagar el impuesto entonces podrían ir y decirle a la gente que él no era un verdadero israelita ya que dijo que deberían pagar el impuesto a los odiados conqueros romanos. "El libro del Génesis dice que Dios creó todas las cosas que Dios no separó la creación, diciendo "esto es para mí, pero esto es para otra persona"Todo fue creado por Dios y le pertenece a él. Cuando Jesús dice den a César lo que es de César y a Dios lo que es de Dios. Él espera que la gente entienda la verdad de que todo pertenece a Dios, incluso parte de César. Lo usamos para dar a César primera nos viene de Dios como su regalo. Un trabajo, empleo, una familia y las cosas que podemos comprar y obtener a través de los salarios que ganamos-todos ellos son de Dios, que nos da todas las cosas buenas . Estamos llamados sabiendo de que todas las cosas pertenecen a Dios, para tratar a todos con el respeto que el amor y la dignidad que les dio cuando creó todas las cosas. Por encima de todo, tenemos el importante deber de aplicar este enfoque a la culminación de la creación de Dios: Gente Novena de los difuntos-Si gustas incluir a un ser querido en esta novena favor llene uno de los sobres que están en el banco. El libro de las Misas para 2015 está disponible para cualquier persona que gueste tener una misa para un ser querido. El libro de las missas está dis-ponible para cualqiera que guste ser una misa para un ser querido. Les pide-mos que Requerden a sus seres queridos con una misa. De parte del Paddre Francois Y el Padre Wasser Le damos las muy sinceras gracias al Comite de la Fiestas, los voluntarios y a todos los que ayudaron a que nuestra Fiesta fuera un éxito. Que Dios los bendiga.
