Seminarian Support: $100.00  Readings for Week of September 13  From the Pastor: Sunday: Sirach 27:3028:7; Psalm 103; Romans 14:79; Matthew 18:2135   24th Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: Numbers 21:4b9; Psalm 78; Philippians 2:611; The message for us this week is pretty clear and very necessary. John 3:1317    The message we have to hear and preach is one of forgiveness. Tuesday: 1 Corinthians 12:1214, 2731a; Psalm 100; John When Peter asked how many times he should forgive his 19:2527    brother, Jesus answered him saying that he should forgive his Wednesday: 1 Corinthians 12:3113:13; Psalm 33; Luke 7:31 brother seventyseven times. It is not an easy thing to do to 35     even forgive once, but Jesus tells us that we should be prepared Thursday: 1 Corinthians 15:111; Psalm 118; Luke 7:3650 to forgive as often as is necessary. Friday: 1 Corinthians 15:1220; Psalm 17; Luke 8:13 Saturday: 1 Corinthians 15:3537, 4249; Psalm 56; Luke 8:4 If we are to survive any relationship, be it on an individual basis 15       or even at a communal level, we must be prepared to forgive  Readings for Week of September 20 those who do us wrong. There can be no limit to our Sunday: 55:69; Psalm 145; Philippians 1:20c24, 27a; forgiveness, even when it seems most difficult to do. Matthew 20:116a  Monday: Ephesians 4:17, 1113; Psalm 19; Matthew 9:913 Saying sorry or asking for forgiveness is not a sign of weakness, Tuesday: Proverbs 21:26, 1013; Psalm 119; Luke 8:1921 as some people might think. What it proves or shows is a Wednesday: Proverbs 30:59; Psalm 119; Luke 9:16 willingness to make right what has gone wrong. I have found Thursday: Ecclesiastes 1:211; Psalm 90; Luke 9:79 such a release when I have taken the time to say I am sorry for a Friday: Ecclesiastes 3:111; Psalm 144; Luke 9:1822 wrong done to someone. How much better I feel knowing that Saturday: Ecclesiastes 11:912:8; Psalm 90; Luke 9:43b45 when I sin and I ask God’s forgiveness that God will forgive  Readings for Week of September 27  me. It feels as if some great burden has been lifted from my Sunday: 18:2528; Psalm 25; Philippians 2:111; shoulder and I feel whole again. Matthew 21:2832  What we are being led to see is that we have to be forgiving of Monday: 1:622; Psalm 17; Luke 9:4650 each other in as much the same way that we would want God to Tuesday: Daniel 7:910, 1314; Psalm 138; John 1:4751 forgive us when we sin. We surely cannot expect God to be Wednesday: Job 9:112, 1416; Psalm 88; Luke 9:5762 merciful to us if we ourselves cannot show mercy to those who Thursday: Job 19:2127; Psalm 27; Luke 10:112 wrong us. God will forgive us when we sin even if we commit Friday: Job 38:1, 1221; 40:35; Psalm 139; Matthew 18:15, the same sin every time. So it is not merely about how much 10     we are willing to forgive but, just as God does not place limits Saturday: Job 42:13, 56, 1217; Psalm 119; Luke 10:1724  on the forgiveness he will give us, we also cannot expect to place limits on each other. In the end what we are to recognize is that God is indeed a merciful God and is prepared to forgive us our sins even if we sin seventyseven times. In our own forgiving of people we cannot set limits on our willingness to forgive but we must try to be merciful and forgiving as God is. In giving forgiveness we bring about reconciliation not only between individuals but also at a community level. The object is to bring about the kind of relationships that reflect the kingdom of God. So how many times should we seek to forgive someone who has done us wrong? Jesus tells us that there should be no limit on our forgiveness, not in number or quality. No doubt we are Join Coadjutor Bishop Lou Tylka and priests, religious, and being asked to do something that is difficult but not impossible. Still, if we want to experience the mercy of God, we must be laity of the diocese in praying for vocations to the priesthood prepared to share that mercy with the people who offend us. If and religious life on the day of our patroness, St. Théresè. we want to be forgiven, then we must be prepared to do the Social distancing will be observed, but there will still be enough same. places in the cathedral for you to come and pray with us!
