Latest radio interview: the spirituality of paying taxes
Laura DeMaria
Yes, that’s right - I joined John Morales on the Morning Air Show this week to talk about my take on how and why we have to pay taxes. In the short term, because Jesus actually told us to (“Render unto Caesar…”). In the long term, because it is an opportunity for humility, detachment, and recognition of eternal things, and not just material things. Plus, it helps us remember that all we have is a gift from God, anyway, subject to His desires for us in our lives. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord!
You can listen to that conversation here. My one regret is that I did not remind everyone - the sooner you pay, the sooner you get your refund back! So have a little hope, too.
As we enter the last week of Lent, before Holy Week begins, may we call to mind the reality of God’s goodness to us. This may be a solemn time, but God is still with us; He is always with us.
