GO@DNEWS October 22,2017 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Tinte (A) Is 45:1y'-6; 1Thes.l:t-Sb; Mt ZZ:tS-Zt Have you ever wondered why so many ancient busts of emperors and gods still exist? ln any major muse_ um

around the world, you'll see rows of these masterful sculptures. The Vatican Museums have one of the best of these collections. The photo was taken in one of the

galleries. Thousands of busts and statues of the emperors and gods were produced for civil use in ancient times^ Just like the American nresident's portrait is in every US embassy, so Caesar's sculpted form was all over the Roman Empire. For example, a bust would be placed in the town squares of the ouilying territories to indicate that a bc,rder populaiion belonged to the Roman Empire. The sculptures of Roman gods were also set up in pubtic places around town so that a certain religious unity was preserved. Being within the empire obliged citizens to pay tributes and taxes, and it assured them of protection. once the caesars declared themselves divine, their statue also required sacrifice and worship. The image of the Caesar marked what belonged to him: from lanci, to money, to people, to prayer. lf you were undel his image, you belonged to him. We also carry the mark of a divine image that indicates to whom we belong. Each human being is made in the image of God, to be his reflection. We are sculpted and formed ta reflect the artist who made us. God gives humans dignity because we are an eternal reflection of God's free, intelligent, artful, and beautiful nature. our inarienabre rights, rooted in our spiriiuat and rational nature, come from our Creator, as do our duties. No government or individual can give or take them away

READINGS

First Reading - Isaiah 4i: t,4-6 in this passage, Cyrus, a foreign ruler, who all Israelites would consider an utter pagan, is cal.led .oGod,s anointed." Cyrus was the Persian ruler who overthrew the

Babylonian empire and tieed the Jewish exiles. The prophet's point is that Cod can use. anyone, even someone who does not know God, to accomplish His purposes.

Second Reading

Thessalonians

l: l-Sb

This epistle rvas rvritten before any other document in the

Nes. Testament. Paul had started the chureh

at Thessalonica and rvas very pleased with Timothy's report on how the congregation was doing. He gives thanks to

God for their "work of faith,' and their ,,labor of love,,, and their "endurance in hope."

Gospel Reading

- Matthew ZZ:IS-ZI

The Pharisees set a trap for Jesus. They opposed paying taxes to the Roman emperor. Herod,s suppofiers, on the other hand, approved of paying the tax. Jesus avoicled the trap and offered a wise principle. We are responsible for

detennining our citizenship responsibilities and our spiritual priorities. When these c+nflict, oi;i ultimare allegiance is ahvays to God.
