Sunday Scripture Speaks...October 18, 2020
What is my spiritual and social responsibility on this
Mission Sunday?
Responsibility is one’s ability to respond to the assigned task or
assignment. It is the measure of one’s commitment to achieving
the highest possible results with the given potential. Be it in one’s
personal life, family affairs, corporate works, responsibility is an
honored virtue, as it captures the essence of rendering what
ought to be done. It is one’s capacity to act by pondering, and truly knowing the
consequences of such action to reap the best fruits. What would your take be should
you ever be challenged as to what your priorities would be in fulfilling tasks that are for
your spiritual life versus your social responsibility? It is such moment when one has to
maintain and manifest ‘equilibrium’ to accomplish the tasks assigned. In today’s
gospel, the Pharisees asked Jesus, “Teacher, tell us your opinion: is it lawful to pay the
census tax to Caesar or not?” Knowing their intentions to plot and entrap, Jesus rightly
answered, “repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.”
We live in this world, firmly fixing our gaze on heaven. That’s it. No more questions
asked. Each year, the global passport index releases the list that mentions the strength
of each nation’s passport. The strength of a nation’s passport is measured in terms of
the number of countries an individual holding a particular passport can travel without a
visa requirement. As individuals, and more so as Catholic Christians, each of us not
only hold a passport of our citizenship and identity, but truly possess the citizenship of
Heaven. Through his response to the Pharisees, Jesus reiterates a dual responsibility:
to live and appreciate our earthly identity and citizenship, and to journey towards
Heaven, our ultimate Citizenship. On the other hand, we are challenged to duly carry
out our responsibilities and contribute our share to the society. Inspired by the
response of Jesus to the Pharisees, what is my spiritual and social responsibility as I
live my life and faith to spread the Mission of the Christ?
