 Gospel Mt 18:21-35



Reflections :

This passage makes a vital link between God forgiving us and our forgiving others. Peter asks how many times he should forgive another. Jesus answers seven times. In other words it means that our readiness to forgive should be without limit.

God’s mercy towards each one of us shows us the way God wants each one of us to be merciful towards one another. In the process of forgiving others we free ourselves of the heavy burden we have been carrying. Unforgiveness emanates from our arrogance, pride and lack of humility. It is also a sign that we love ourselves more than we love Jesus. It is not easy to let go of our anger and hurt. But if we place our ill feelings into God’s hands, God will heal our resentment, hurt and anger. 

Activity : 

 Place our burdens, your anger and pain in Jesus’ hands and make an attempt to forgive someone from the heart.

And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Christ? But we know where he is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.   Reflection:  In today’s gospel we find J...
