Daily Reading & Meditation Sunday (October 19): Give to God what belongs to God Gospel reading: Matthew 22:15-21 15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God truthfully, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men. 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said,, Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the money for the tax. And they brought him a coin. 20 And Jesus said to them, Whose likeness and inscription is this? 21 They said, Caesars. Then he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. 22 When they heard it, they marveled; and they left him and went away. Prayer: Lord, because you have made me, I owe you the whole of my love; because you have redeemed me, I owe you the whole of myself; because you have promised so much, I owe you all my being. Moreover, I owe you as much more love than myself as you are greater than I, for whom you gave yourself and to whom you promised yourself. I pray you, Lord, make me taste by love what I taste by knowledge; let me know by love what I know by understanding. I owe you more than my whole self, but I have no more, and by myself I cannot render the whole of it to you. Draw me to you, Lord, in the fullness of love. I am wholly yours by creation; make me all yours, too, in love. (prayer of Anselm, 1033-1109 AD) Angel of God My guardian dear To Whom His love Commits me here Ever this day Be at my side To light and guard To rule and guide.
