[Grem] Mai evang.Szt.M. Kolbe vértanú pap emléknapján + elmélkedés

[Emoke Greschik]

*Bp. Barron's today's Gospel Reflection:*


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, 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 you have received 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.

*Imádkozzál érettünk Istennek Szent Anyja, hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire. Ámen.*
