Here are some of the main themes in the Mass Readings for the 23rd Sunday of the Year.

1st Reading – Ezekiel 33:7-9

  • God charges the prophet to warn the people of their wickedness.
  • If the prophet does not speak, both the people and the prophet will die.
  • If the prophet speaks and the people do not listen, the people will die, but the prophet will be saved because he did what the Lord commanded.

Psalm – 95:1-2,6-9

  • “If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”
  • We acknowledge the Lord and bow down to worship the God who guides us.

2nd Reading – Romans 13:8-10

  • Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another.
  • Love fulfills all the commandments of the law.

Gospel – Matthew 18:15-20

  • If someone sins against us, we are to strive to address the fault, first with the person, then with others, and finally (if all else fails) with the church.
  • Where two or three are gathered together in the name of Jesus, the Lord is present in their midst.
