Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 18:21 - 19:1
*Friends, our Gospel today focuses on the gift of forgiveness. *This is
such an anchor of the New Testament and *so central to Jesus’ ministry and
preaching. When it comes to the offenses that we have received from others,
we are, all of us, great avatars of justice. We will remember every insult,
every snub, and every shortcoming when it comes to our being hurt by
others. That’s why forgiving *even once or twice







*is so difficult.Forgiving seven times, as Peter suggests, is beyond the
pale. Yet Jesus says to him, "I say to you, not seven times but
seventy-seven times." In other words, forgive constantly, relentlessly, and
without calculation. Your whole life must become an act of forgiveness.And
this is why Jesus tells the parable in today’s Gospel. The man who had been
forgiven so much should, at the very least, show forgiveness to the one who
owed him so much less.Here is the spiritual heart of the matter: whatever
anyone owes you (in strict justice) is infinitely less than what God has
graciously given to you; the divine forgiveness of you is infinitely
greater than any forgiveness you might be called upon to offer.*Becoming an
instrument of God’s life, grace, forgiveness, and peace is what it is all
about. *Allow to flow through you what has been poured into you—that is the
whole story.*
