Listening to the Word: Isaiah 25:6-10.
Moment of Silent Reflection.
Who does God grant power to defeat his enemies?
• How does God show love for the people of Israel?
• What important message about the Lord God is given to the people?
In the gospel today listen to how the Pharisees try to trap Jesus.
Read Matthew 22:15-21.
Allow for silence.
• How do the Pharisees try to trap Jesus?
• Why do they present Jesus with a coin?
• What does Jesus tell the Pharisees about God?

Dear Saint Margaret Mary,
Permitted by the Sacred Heart of Jesus to become a caretaker of its divine treasures, obtain for us we ask you, from that adorable Heart, all the graces we need. We ask for them with boundless confidence. May the Divine Heart be willing to grant them to us through your intercession so that once again He may, through you, be glorified and loved. Amen
