WEEKLY MEDITATION

While the statement, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's" is true, we must not forget that Jesus said it as a way to escape from a trap. The Pharisees plotted to entrap him in what he said, so they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?" (vv 15-17). This is not a sincere question asked by people who really wanted to know the truth about church-state relations, so it would be wrong to treat the saying as the straightforward teaching of Jesus about the ideal relationship that should exist between church and state. Faced with the double-ended trap of the Pharisees and Herodians, in which it was unsafe to clearly say yes or no, Jesus framed his answer in such enigmatic language that it would be hard for either party to trap him. In this way he succeeded in confusing not only his interrogators, but also many of us who read the Bible today. If you think Jesus meant that we should have two parallel loyalties, it might help to know that the Pharisees who heard him did not understand it in that way. In the trial of Jesus before Pilate, one of the charges they brought against him was that he forbade paying taxes to Caesar (Luke 23:2).

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

90th ANNIVERSARY SPIRITUAL RETREAT
As we have announced, a special 90th Anniversary Parish Retreat will be held the weekend of November 8-10. The well-known Croatian priest, Fr. Zlatko Sudac, will conduct this spiritual event that will begin on Friday, continue on Saturday, and culminate on Sunday. Details will be given in next week's bulletin. We invite our parishioners to set aside these days and encourage everyone to attend. We especially recommend that the young adults of our parish participate in this spiritual renewal. It must be stressed that this spiritual experience is a renewal for St. Jerome Parish. Special admission tickets will be given to parishioners the weekend before the retreat. Because of the large crowd that is expected, only ticket holders will be admitted. There is no cost for the tickets. We ask for your understanding of this way of handling our special retreat, and look forward to sharing a meaningful and unique opportunity for parish renewal in fellowship with you.
