Render to God What Belongs to God | On Justice and Goodwill

About this sermon

In this moving sermon for the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost, Father reflects on Christ’s command: “Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God.” He reminds us that our souls bear the image of God and therefore belong entirely to Him. Through the story of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and her sister Sister Geneviève, we discover the profound power of good will — that sincere desire to love and serve God even in weakness. Like St. Thérèse’s “little bloody dog of goodwill,” this spiritual tenacity keeps us on the path to Heaven, even when we fall short of perfection. Father also shares a heartfelt missionary story from Mexico, illustrating how even our smallest efforts and struggles can be offered to God in love and justice. Let this homily renew your resolve to give your heart, your will, and your whole being back to God — with all your imperfections, failings, and efforts united to Christ. 🙏 “Render unto God what belongs to God — your heart, your soul, your love.” 🕰️ Timestamps 0:00 — Gospel Introduction: Render to Caesar and to God 0:45 — The Coin and the Soul: Bearing the Image of God 1:35 — Giving Everything Back to God 2:00 — Our Duties Toward God, Neighbor, and Authority 3:05 — Justice and Inner Peace 3:45 — Story of St. Thérèse and Sister Geneviève 5:15 — The Lesson of Goodwill from St. Gertrude 6:00 — The Virtue of Desire and Holy Intent 7:30 — St. Thérèse’s “Bloody Dog of Goodwill” 8:45 — Weakness, Falling, and Spiritual Contentment 10:00 — Missionary Story from Mexico: “I Can’t Do It” 11:00 — Encouragement from St. Thérèse: Goodwill Leads to Paradise 11:40 — Final Exhortation: Render All to God 12:07 — Conclusion and Blessing For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #Homily #Sermon #GospelReflection #RenderToGod #RenderToCaesar #TraditionalLatinMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #StTherese #Goodwill #Virtue #CatholicHomily #SpiritualLife #JesusChrist #Gospel #Catholicism #Saints #Faith #Christianity #SensusFidelium #22ndSundayAfterPentecost #MassReflection #CatholicPreaching #CatholicDevotion 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
