Example: A family of Saints, or “Twins”.

Around the Diocese...

IN GOD ALONE Isaiah speaks to us today of Cyrus, King of Persia, anointed by the Lord. God calls Cyrus by name and leads him in service to the Israelites. In this passage we hear that it is the Lord who gives Cyrus his tle, who arms him against his enemies, and who opens doors and unbars gates before him. And God does all of this so that the people will know that “I am the L ,” and that “there is none besides me” (Isaiah 45:6). Paul opens his le er with essen ally the same no-

on—that in God alone we find our grace and peace. Paul also gives thanks to God on our behalf, calling to mind our work of faith, hope, and love. And in the famil-iar Gospel reading, Jesus tells the Pharisees to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
