The grace of forgiveness. Forgiveness is not easy. There is no more difficult form of giving than forgiving. For some people, forgiveness seems an impossible requirement, because of what they have suffered and the harm that has been done to them. Howdoyou forgive someone who has done something terrible to you ortoa member of your family? There are times in our lives when wearenot able to forgive someone, especially when the offending person shows no sign of remorse or of wanting to make restitution for the harm done. Jesus, in today's parable of the unforgiving servant, is suggesting that God's tender, limitless mercy towards us is with a view toourown transformation. To really open our lives to God's limitless mercy istobe transformed by God's love into God's likeness. We all have someone to forgive and we all need to be forgiven by someone. Offering forgiveness to another will never come easy to us; it sometimes comes very slowly. Today's Gospel suggests that the more we appreciate and open ourselves uptothe gift of God's limitless forgiveness ofus, the freer we will be to pass on that forgiveness to others. Fr. Owen Joe.

Itisawayofl iving. The parable of the unforgiving servant shows us the depth of God’s mercy. We have received forgiveness far beyond what we could ever earn, yetwecan sometimes struggle to extend that same mercy to oth- ers. Jesus challenges us to remember that the forgiveness we receive from God sh ould overflow into our relationships. Forgiving does not mean pretending that hurt never happened. It means c hoosing not to let resentment have the final word. As we pray the Lord ’s Prayer, “forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, ” mayweaskforthe grace to forgive generously, patiently, and from the heart .

New Parish OfȦce Hours: Mon 6pm – 9pm, Wed 10.30am – 6.30pm Thurs 10.30am – 1.30pm Points to Ponder Readiness to forgive is taught by many of the great philosophies and religions of the world. Why? Because you can’t be happy, or have any sort of inner peace, far less inner joy, ifyou refuse to forgive. Dwelling on past hurts, nurturing resentment, indulging simmering anger: these things can blight or embitter a person’s whole life. Unfortunately though, asallof us know: sometimes forgiveness can seem very diącult indeed, even impossible. Perhaps this is so nowadays more than ever, because contemporary secular culture encourages us to think of ourselves as victims, who have a right to demand compensation and redress. What though ifwećndittoo hard? What if my brother really hurts or upsets me, and ever continues to do so? What if I have been so deeply wounded by someone that my life is eĄectively ruined? In that case, let us simply admit the impossibility of our task, and turn to God for help. O God come to my aid, wecry. ‘Lord, help metoletgo of this. If I can’t forgive, then do you forgive in my place. Bless us both, Lord, so that each ofusis able to receive the gift of your forgiveness.’ We pray, wegoto confession, and we come to Mass. Here the love and mercy of Jesus that Ĉows from his sacrićcial death are made present, and received in sacramental form. Here supremely wećndthe grace and strength we need, in order to letgoofthe debt we are owed: we, who have been redeemed from our own incomparably greater debt, through the blood of Jesus Christ our Lord. pluscardenabbey.org Thought for Today As Catholics, we have received the Sacrament of Reconcil iation, which allows us to experience God’s forgiveness perso nally. It is a reminder of His boundless love and mercy. In turn, it should inspire ustobe forgiving and merciful in our interac tions with others. We must remember that forgiveness is not just a one-time actbuta continuous disposition of the heart. Letusbemin dful of the unforgiving servant in the parable and strive tobe merciful and forgiving as our Heavenly Father istous. In doing so, we bear witness to the transformative power of God’s love and mercy in our lives andinthe world . Adam Eichelberger • assumptions.org
