2014
FIRST READING 19 October
Isaiah
43:18-19.21-22.24First Reading::
Isaiah 45:1. 4-6
Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whom he
has taken by his right hand to subdue nations before him
and strip the loins of kings, to force gateways before him
that their gates be closed no more: It is for the sake of my
servant Jacob, of Israel my chosen one, that I have called
you by your name, conferring a title though you do not
know me. I am the Lord, unrivalled; there is no other God
besides me. Though you do not know me, I arm you
that men may know from the rising to the setting of the
sun that, apart from me, all is nothing.
Response to Psalm: Give the Lord glory and power.
Second Reading:
1Thessalonians 1:1-5
From Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church in
Thessalonika which is in God the Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ; wishing you grace and peace. We always
mention you in our prayers and thank God for you all, and
constantly remember before God our Father how you
have shown your faith in action, worked for love and
persevered through hope, in our Lord Jesus Christ. We
know, brothers, that God loves you and that you have
been chosen, because when we brought the Good News
to you, it came to you not only as words, but as power
and as the Holy Spirit and as utter conviction.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Your word is truth, O Lord,
consecrate us in the truth.
Alleluia!
GOSPEL:
Matthew 22:15-21
The Pharisees went away to work out between them how
to trap Jesus in what he said. And they sent their
disciples to him, together with the Herodians, to say,
‘Master, we know that you are an honest man and teach
the way of God in an honest way, and that you are not
afraid of anyone, because a man’s rank means nothing to
you. Tell us your opinion, then. Is it permissible to pay
taxes to Caesar or not? But Jesus was aware of their
malice and replied, ‘You hypocrites! Why do you set this
trap for me? Let me see the money you pay the tax with.’
They handed him a denarius and he said, ‘Whose head is
this? Whose name?’ ‘Caesar’s’ they replied. He then said
to them, ‘Very well, give back to Caesar what belongs to
Caesar – and to God what belongs to God.’
