OTHER NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Lord is king over all the earth, as we sing in today’s Psalm. Governments rise and fall by His permission, with no authority but that given from above (see John 19:11; Romans 13:1).
In effect, God says to every ruler what He tells King Cyrus in today’s First Reading: “I have called you . . . though you knew me not.”
The Lord raised up Cyrus to restore the Israelites from exile, and to rebuild Jerusalem (see Ezra 1:1–4). Throughout salvation history, God has used foreign rulers for the sake of His chosen people. Pharaoh’s heart was hardened to reveal God’s power (see Romans 9:17). Invading armies were used to punish Israel’s sins (see 2 Maccabees 6:7–16).
The Roman occupation during Jesus’ time was, in a similar way, a judgment on Israel’s unfaithfulness. Jesus’ famous words in today’s Gospel: “Repay to Caesar” are a pointed reminder of this. And they call us, too, to keep our allegiances straight.
The Lord alone is our king. His kingdom is not of this world (see John 18:36) but it begins here in His Church, which tells of His glory among all peoples. Citizens of heaven (see Philippians 3:20), we are called to be a light to the world (see Matthew 5:14)—working in faith, laboring in love, and enduring in hope, as today’s Epistle counsels.
We owe the government a concern for the common good and obedience to laws—unless they conflict with God’s commandments as interpreted by the Church (see Acts 5:29).
But we owe God everything. The coin bears Caesar’s image. But we bear God’s own image (see Genesis 1:27). We owe Him our very lives—all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, offered as a living sacrifice of love (see Romans 12:1–2).
We should pray for our leaders, that like Cyrus they do God’s will (see 1 Timothy 2:1–2)—until from the rising of the sun to its setting, all humanity knows that Jesus is Lord.

You can help by letting others know about these exciting changes, and assisting your neighbors in need with a generous donation! Learn more, watch the new video, and give securely online at www.CatholicCharitiesND.org or Facebook. Together let’s celebrate “US” – United and Strong!

~ Pope St. John Paul II (Feast Day – October 22)
Steubenville Youth Conference Every summer, tens of thousands of people encounter the life-changing love of Christ at High School Steubenville Conferences across North America. Through inspiring keynote talks, dynamic praise and worship music, small group discussion, and the sacraments, people become motivated to share the message of the Gospel with others.
The conference is open to all students in going into 9-12 grade (and college students) and would take place the last weekend of July 2021 (23-25) at the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities. The cost would be somewhere between $325.00-$375.00/participant (priests go for free) and would include registration/ housing, transportation on a charter bus, food, and t-shirts. For the diocese to sponsor this trip, we need to know if parishes, once registration begins, would be interested in reserving spots for the conference. Contact: Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at (701)356-7902.

Stewardship Moment
“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to
God the things that are God’s.” - MATTHEW 22:21
God really does provide for those who are grateful and generous.
This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship
lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just
coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle
for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time in prayer,
talent in charitable works and treasure and see how God
provides for your needs.
World Mission Sunday TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY. We celebrate this day by remembering our baptismal call - to bring the Gospel to all! The collection today for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith supports the work and witness of the Mission Church, as is provides for priests, religious and lay leaders who offer the Lord's mercy and concrete help to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope's missions. Thank you for your generosity.
