First Reading — Remember the commandments and hate not your neighbor (Sirach 27:30 —

28:7).

Psalm — The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion (Psalm 103).

Second Reading — Whether we live, or whether we die, we do so for the Lord (Romans 14:7-

9).

Gospel — Forgive one another from your heart (Matthew 18:21-35).

FORGIVENESS Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted ways when the

business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did

not speak to each other again.

Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and

told him he had better come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the

hospital room. The father motioned his son to him and whispered: “Did

you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from loving

you?”

Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach

tells us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the command-

ments. As St. Paul writes to the Romans, we are to live for the Lord and

die for the Lord.

Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel reminds us of God’s compassion.

The immense sin of humanity has been forgiven and stricken from the

record. We are to forgive others in the same way.
