Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Thursday, November 05, 2009

Give to Caesar what is due to Caesar, and give to God what is due to God.
- Matthew 22:21

Reflection: There are no better citizens--whether in peace or in war--than Christians who are mindful of their duty. Such persons must be willing to suffer all things--even death--rather than abandon the cause of God or of the Church.
- Pope Leo XIII

Prayer: Heavenly Father, grant me a love for my country and a desire to help it as a good citizen. At the same time let me remain a faithful member of Your Church and work for her benefit.
