Study, Pray, Serve: 24th Sunday of the Year
Here are some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the 24th Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Sirach 27:30-28:9
- While wrath and anger are hateful things, the sinner hugs them tight.
- If a person expects mercy and pardon for sins, enmity must be set aside.
Psalm – 103:1-4,9-12
- “The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion.”
- God pardons, heals, and redeems us out of kindness.
2nd Reading – Romans 14:7-9
- None of us lives or dies for oneself, but for the Lord.
- Christ has died and rose that he might be Lord of the dead and the living.
Gospel – Matthew 18:21-35
- When asked by Peter how often must he forgive his brother, Jesus offers a parable about a servant who failed to forgive someone in a small way after he had experienced great forgiveness from his master.
- The Lord then applies the parable to us all: we must forgive one another if we expect to be forgiven by God.
