What does Jesus's response in today's gospel to the question of paying taxes to Caesar demand of us as members of society?

2 Jun: what does Jesus's response to the question of paying taxes to Caesar demand of us as members of society?

That we should give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's is one of the best known and yet perhaps one of the least understood of Jesus's sayings. We hear it in today's gospel:

2 June: That we should give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's is one of the best known and yet perhaps one of the least understood of Jesus's sayings.

The crucifixion is the peak of human rejection of and hostility towards God, and the gospel writers portray it in these terms, for example in the parable of the Wicked Tenants. We hear Mark's version today.

Today is Global Day of Parents. Isaiah reminds us that the Everlasting Father rules his people with authority and in justice, but also watches over them in love, heals them, comforts them. Does not fatherhood in this sense include and embrace motherhood?

The title that might seem out of place is ‘Everlasting Father’: isn’t Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity, the Son?

The theology of the Trinity, taken both as a whole and in its various parts, is suggestive of there always being more to the being and reality of God than we and, indeed, our Catholic Christian tradition, have thus far understood and experienced.

Paul D. Murray explores key elements in a fundamental theology of dialogue and points to their implications for our understanding of Catholic truth. He indicates the challenges presented by dialogue to our ways of living and being as Church.

'The descent of the Spirit reminds us of our essential Trinitarian nature: rooted in Christ we look both to the Father in Heaven as well as to our fellow suffering humans on earth.’

The great feast that concludes the Easter season, Pentecost, can only be properly understood against the horizon of the Trinity, which we celebrate a week later, says Professor Peter Tyler.
