SHEPHERD’S VOICE

“The Absolute Christian Action to Personal Sins and Faults”

Called to be our brothers/sisters keeper is what our first reading proclaims (Ez 33:7-9). “You shall warn them for me…” We have a corporate responsibility for each other’s welfare. Rightly so, our responsorial Psalm reminds us once more: “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.”

From our second reading – Romans 13:8-10 - St. Paul teaches – “Brothers and sisters: Owe noth-ing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.” “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” “Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.”

The Church is not perfect. Jesus says, “If your brother sins….” With this he candidly admits that the fellowship of his followers is not made up of perfect persons but of men and women who are sinners journeying to conversion.

Fraternal love is fundamental. Jesus calls the erring person “brother,” the common designation for a Christian in the early Church (cf Acts 9:17; Rom 14:10; Col 1:2). Fraternal love forms the normal link among the members of the Church. This brotherhood, or fraternity, is based on the spiritual relationship; that Jesus established in his per-son between the heavenly Father and those who belong to Jesus (cf Mt 12:48; 28:10).

The threefold approach of fraternal correction is a procedure of mercy. The main agenda of the Church is to reintegrate the one straying away – by his private sins- from the community. Each Christian is a shepherd to another, a keeper of his brothers. The correction or gentle reprimand by way of exhortation is inspired by authentic love for the guilty person. The aim of talking with the offending brother in a one-on-one way, or of having to call two or three oth-ers to talk with the person, is not to “gang up” on the person. The words of the Gospel are clear: the aim is to gain the brother over… to “win over the faith”…for the person’s spiritual progress, and for the common good of the ecclesial family.

The ultimate challenge: “tell the Church…treat him as you would a Gentile or tax collector.” These words, detached from the context, may signify cutting off, excommunication, or ostracism of the erring person. But read with proper background, they mean exactly the opposite. The “ekklesia” is not a human tribunal! The Church is the community of faith formed by all believers, a fraternity rooted on the love of Jesus, whose primary mission is to feel, think, and act in the name of Jesus (cf vv19-20). Jesus proclaims that the gathering of the believers is the continu-ing“Emmanuel” (God with us).

In his earthly life and ministry, Jesus always reach-es out to prostitutes, tax collectors, and Gentiles. For them, he has forgiveness, compassion, and ex-hortation. When all these fail, Jesus leaves them in the hands of God, his Father, who remains to be our Creator and true Shepherd (cf Psalm 23). This then is the absolute Christian response.

Let us make no mistake about how to love one an-other: how we treat one another is at the very heart of who we are as faithful servants of the Lord. We need to get this right.

God bless,

Fr. Roni
