Jesus responds by teaching us to fulfill our responsibilities in the world while remembering the deeper reality that our lives belong to God. Created in God's image, we are called to let our faith shape the way we live, serve, decide, and love. As we reflect on this Gospel, may we learn to give others what is rightfully theirs while giving God what belongs to Him: our hearts, our trust, and our entire lives.
