Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time – October 22, 2017
Gospel Reading: Matthew 22:15-21
“At that, [Jesus] said to them, ‘Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God. When they heard this, they were amazed, and leaving him, they went away.”
Serving God in today’s world can feature various challenges. Being a faithful disciple sometimes conflicts with being a citizen of this world. As students get older, they will realize this more and more. For now, it is important to show students that there are numerous ways for them to seek opportunities for direct service in their own communities.
Have you meditated on the broader implications of this passage before trying to explain it to your students?
