29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus knows that the Pharisees were seeking to entrap

him and he does not allow it. Government has a role to play, but God’s role is always more central and important. A ques-tion that arises from this Gospel is: Do we live in a way that reflects the primacy of God in our lives? Do our lives show God’s values regarding sharing our gifts and resources in the world? Do the poor have a place of primacy in our con-sciousness, as they do for God? What is one thing we can do this week to let the poor have a privileged place in our life and consciousness?

Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Jesús sabe que los Fariseos estaban tratando de hacerlo

caer en una trampa y no lo permite. El gobierno tiene un rol que cumplir, pero el rol de Dios es siempre más central e importante. Una pregunta que surge de este Evangelio es: ¿Vivimos en una manera que refleja la prioridad de Dios en nuestras vidas? ¿Nuestras vidas muestran los valores de Dios respecto al compartir nuestros dones y recursos con el mundo? ¿Los pobres tienen un lugar primordial en nuestras conciencias, tal como en la de Dios? ¿Qué es algo que po-demos hacer esta semana para dar a los pobres un lugar privilegiado en nuestra vida y conciencia?
