God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.

Dear Holy Trinity Family,

    “Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” Again, with his manifold wisdom he avoided the entrapment of the Pharisees with the help of the Herodians. They have differences with one another, and yet they joined forces to put Jesus in a bad situation. But they failed because Jesus' response was true and based on justice. We should remember that God is God of justice and order. Yes Jesus showed that He was a good citizen by observing the law of the land. And also he showed to them that there is more than that law which is no other than the law of the Lord founded in love. Jesus showed his respect to the authority. But he elevated it, to that which is higher than world authority, which is God.
    We belong to God, and all that we have in this life is from God. Our life is from God and so it is right and just that it should be used to give witness and give glory to God. Remember who we are, that we are created in his image and likeness. Therefore, we should carry at all times the very mission of Christ, that is to bring Him to all people’s hearts. Today we are celebrating world mission Sunday. Don’t think that this is only reserved to all missionaries who belong to different religious congregations. The truth is, we are all missionaries as Jesus has sent us all to be the light and salt of the world. In our confirmation, this mission has been mandated to all of us as soldiers of Christ. Meaning to say, that we, as the body of Christ have been called to different responsibilities and different tasks. And we may always think that this beautiful life you have given is being used for your mission, and with your mission. Jesus I trust in you .

In Christ and Mary,

Fr. Rey Manahan
