Question of the Week for

October 18

This week ahead, how will I repay to God what belongs to God?

     Cyrus was the pagan king of Persia, but when he conquered Babylon, he permitted the Jewish people to return to their homeland and worship God as they desired. For this reason, Isaiah speaks of Cyrus as having been anointed by God. He insists that God was the power behind the pagan king’s success, arming him, making him king, and leading him to victory over Babylon, all without him realizing it. In a similar way, Paul explains to the Thessalonians that the gospel did not come to them only by what he, Silvanus, and Timothy told them, “but also in power and in the Holy Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 1:5). What we cannot see or hear can be even more powerful than what we can

sense. Let us recognize the effect of the Holy Spirit, whom we received in baptism and confirmation, in our own lives and the lives of others.
