PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “WHOSE IMAGE DO YOU BEAR?”

TUESDAY, June 2, 2026Tuesday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary TimeMemorial of Saints Marcellinus and Peter, martyrs PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “WHOSE IMAGE DO YOU BEAR?” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MARK 12: 13 - 17Some Pharisees and Herodians were sentto Jesus to ensnare him in his speech.They came and said to him,“Teacher, we know that you are a truthful manand that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion.You do not regard a person’s statusbut teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?Should we pay or should we not pay?”Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them,“Why are you testing me?Bring me a denarius to look at.”They brought one to him and he said to them,“Whose image and inscription is this?”They replied to him, “Caesar’s.”So Jesus said to them,“Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesarand to God what belongs to God.”They were utterly amazed at him.
