(1 Cor. 2:6–9; Matt. 22:15–22) “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's” (Matthew 22:21); give everyone yours. Hence the law: do not please God with just one aspect, but with every aspect in which you can and must please; Direct all your strength and every way to serving God. By saying: “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s,” the Lord showed that such an action was pleasing to Him. If by Caesar you understand all the orders of earthly life, necessary and essential, and by God - all the orders of the Church established by God, then it follows that all the paths of our life are overflowing with ways to salvation. Just pay attention and have time to use everything and act everywhere in accordance with God’s will, as God wants you to do—salvation is at your fingertips. You can arrange yourself in such a way that every step is a deed pleasing to God, and therefore a step towards salvation, for the path of salvation is a procession along the path of God’s will. Walk in the presence of God, listen, reason and, without sparing yourself, immediately begin the task that your conscience points out to you at that time. You might be interested in:
