Lectionary: 145 Reading 1 Isaiah 45:1, 4-6 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his service, opening doors before him and leaving the gates unbarred: For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel, my chosen one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew me not. I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun people may know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is no other. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 96:1, 3, 4-5, 7-8, 9-10 R. (7b) Give the Lord glory and honor. Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all you lands. Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds. R. Give the Lord glory and honor. For great is the LORD and highly to be praised; awesome is he, beyond all gods. For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the LORD made the heavens. R. Give the Lord glory and honor. Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and praise; give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts, and enter his courts. R. Give the Lord glory and honor. Worship the LORD, in holy attire; tremble before him, all the earth; say among the nations: The LORD is king, he governs the peoples with equity. R. Give the Lord glory and honor. Reading 2 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5b Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers and sisters loved by God, how you were chosen. For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. Alleluia Philippians 2:15d, 16a R. Alleluia, alleluia. Shine like lights in the world as you hold on to the word of life. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Matthew 22:15-21 The Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap Jesus in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a person's status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God."

Can God's mercy exist without justice? What does true repentance really mean, and are we fully understanding what God asks of us? In this powerful Catholic reflection on **God's Mercy and Justice**, we explore the relationship between forgiveness, repentance, sin, and salvation. Through the Letter of St. Jude, the example of St. Michael the Archangel, and the teachings of St. Paul, we discover why God's mercy does not eliminate His justice, but calls us toward genuine conversion and holiness. This reflection challenges us to examine our spiritual lives, understand the importance of confession, reparation, and detachment from sin, and recognize the dangers of placing worldly values above the Gospel. We also reflect on the importance of humility, the First Commandment, spiritual warfare, and what it truly means to live a Christ-centered life. **Scripture references:** Jude 1, Ephesians 4:1–12, 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 Are we truly allowing God's mercy to transform our lives, or are we becoming comfortable with the sins we are called to overcome? Watch this reflection and consider how God's justice and mercy work together in our journey toward holiness.

Are you living in a way that prepares you for eternity? Death is something we will all face, but Scripture reminds us that the way we live today matters for what comes next. In this episode of Faith Unscripted, we explore what the Bible teaches about death, the purpose of life, and how to prepare our hearts to meet God. Through faith, repentance, prayer, and love, we reflect on what it truly means to live a full and meaningful life rooted in Christ. What does it mean to die righteously? How can we live without regret and remain faithful to God until the very end? Together, we discuss the importance of living each day with eternity in mind, trusting in God's mercy, and allowing Scripture to guide our decisions. Whether you're young or old, it's never too early to begin living for what truly matters. "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." — Psalm 90:12 Join us on Faith Unscripted as we reflect on life, death, salvation, and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to build a marriage with Jesus at the center? Just one year into their marriage, Isaac and Crystal share a beautiful testimony about the importance of keeping Christ at the heart of their relationship. During a three-mile pilgrimage in honor of Our Lady of La Leche in St. Augustine, Florida, the young couple reflects on how faith plays an essential role in their journey as husband and wife. Marriage is more than walking through life together. It is a shared calling to grow in love, holiness, and trust in God. When Jesus becomes the foundation of a marriage, every joy, challenge, and new beginning becomes an opportunity to grow closer to Him and to one another. Join María Visión USA as Isaac and Crystal remind us that a Christ-centered marriage is not simply about loving each other, but about learning to love each other through Christ. #CatholicMarriage #ChristCenteredMarriage #CatholicCouple #MarriageTestimony #JesusAtTheCenter #CatholicFaith #Newlyweds #OurLadyOfLaLeche #CatholicPilgrimage #SacramentOfMarriage #YoungCatholics #ChristianMarriage #FaithAndMarriage #StAugustineFlorida #MariaVisionUSA SEND US YOUR PRAYER INTENTIONS: Email: aveprayerline@gmail.com Text us: +1 (239) 321-9912 WhatsApp: https://wa.link/c6yh18 Prayer line: +1 (239) 842-3325 TO MAKE A DONATION: https://www.mariavision.us/donate WEBSITE: https://www.mariavision.us FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: https://www.instagram.com/mariavisionusa https://www.facebook.com/mariavisionusa/ https://www.tiktok.com/@mariavision.usa May God Bless You Always!
