Father’s Reflection

Giving to God What Belongs to God

October 18, 2026

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us, “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” Through these words, Jesus reminds us that while we have responsibilities in our families, communities, and society, our first allegiance belongs to God. We are created in His image and called to reflect His love, mercy, and goodness in everything we do.
