The Gospel for Tuesday, June 2: 'Give to God what belongs to God'
The Gospel reading for Tuesday, June 2 (Mk 12:13-17) confronts political power with the duty owed to God. The phrase "render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's" serves as the basis for a reflection on the incompatibility between serving God and worshipping the State. The homily by Father Santiago Martín, of the Franciscans of Mary, explored this distinction in depth, calling on the faithful not to confuse their loyalties.
Reading from the Second Letter of Peter
The second reading (2 Pt 3:12-15a.17-18) urges active waiting for the Day of God: "we await new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells." A message of patience and vigilance in a context the speaker likens to the present day.
Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Rosary
The day included the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3 p.m., as is tradition, and the praying of the Holy Rosary at 10 p.m. The community thus maintains its digital prayer routine, with live Mass at 8 p.m.
Those seeking to delve deeper into the daily reflections will find in the shared resources (homilies, apophthegms of the Desert Fathers) material for meditation that goes beyond simply reading the biblical text.
