[Grem] Gospel meditation + 'Az Úrral való egység imája'

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, in today’s Gospel, *the Pharisees try to trap Jesus*.* They ask,
“Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?”* *Church-state
questions are nothing new*—*and they continue to be just as divisive.*

*In the matter of religion and politics, the same principle of Jesus’
wonderful one-liner applies: “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to
God what belongs to God.” Politics* *is not in a realm separate from the
religious; rather, its deepest ground is spiritual. *

So does this mean that religion just swallows everything up? Of course not.
Here we can profitably return to Jesus’ dictum. One of the implications of
the doctrine of creation is that *created things* *have their own
integrity.* *They are not parts of God, appendages of God’s being*. S*ports,
culture, art, politics, science, etc. have their* *own particular forms of
flourishing.*

*And it’s no business of mine to come crashing into an artist’s studio and
telling him how to paint, or to enter an operating room and tell a doctor
how to perform heart surgery. This is the valid independence of created
things and secular culture vis-à-vis religion. But remember that all
things, ultimately, belong to God—including* *Caesar.*

*Imádott Jézusom, *

*Lábunk együtt járjon, *

*Kezünk együtt gyűjtsön, *

*Szívünk együtt dobbanjon, *

*Bensőnk együtt érezzen, *

*Elménk gondolata egy legyen,  *

*Fülünk együtt figyeljen a csöndességre. *

*Szemünk egymásba nézzen és *

*Tekintetünk összeforrjon. *
*Ajkunk együtt könyörögjön az Örök Atyához irgalomért. Amen.*
