Title: TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR(A), 18TH OCTOBER, 2026

THE HOLY SPIRIT - OUR BEST AND GREATEST FRIEND. KEEP FULFILLING YOUR CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS OBLIGATIONS. Noble Child of God, Come Holy Spirit! Jesus said to them, "Very well, pay Caesar what belongs to Caesar -- and God what belongs to God.'(Mt.22:21(Mt.22:15-21). Jesus used the citation above to escape the dangerous trap some Pharisees and Jewish Leaders set up for him. They asked him publicly whether it is proper for them to pay taxes or not to pay. If he says, do not pay taxes, the Roman Authorities then will call him a traitor and come after him. And if he says, pay taxes, his people, the Jews will consider him their enemy. However, He silenced them with his answer, 'give back to Caesar what belongs to him and give to God what belongs to him too. Thus, he made it very clear to them then and to us today that, we have both Secular and Religious Obligations to fulfill as children of God on mission for him on earth. Our civil responsibilities include, paying our Taxes, having updated Licenses, having our Voters Card and voting, obeying our Nations' Constitutions, traffic lights, etc. Secondly, giving God what belongs to him implies giving God our hearts and entire beings by striving always to obey his commandments, praying in and out of season, donating for Church projects and to support the needy, ensuring that we do not compromise our prayers, Masses and other serious church activities for our business, work, travels, Selfishness or flimsy reasons. EVER LIVING, LOVING AND CARING FATHER WE PRAY THAT YOUR GRACE MAY CONTINUE TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR US TO ENSURE THAT WE KEEP FULFILLING OUR OBLIGATIONS WELL, FEEL HAPPY AND SECURED UNDER YOUR PROTECTION HERE AND THEREAFTER IN HEAVEN, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, AMEN! 🙏. Thanks for being part of the Missionary work of Holy Ghost Fathers(Spiritans) with your supports. Forward ever and backwards never. "Do Not Be Afraid, Only Have Faith"(Mk.5:36). Be assured of our prayers and be ever grateful to God(1Thess.5:18).DO HAVE A NICE WEEK. (Fr.VIN.O.-Nwachi)
