Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Times
Peter asks Jesus how often he must forgive, and Jesus responds with a number so large it breaks the limits of calculation. Forgiveness, in the Kingdom of God, is not measured — it is lived. It is a way of being that reflects the heart of Christ Himself.
​
We all carry wounds. We all have moments when forgiveness feels impossible. Yet Jesus reminds us that mercy is the path to freedom. Holding onto anger binds us; releasing it opens us to grace. The parable of the unforgiving servant challenges us to remember how generously God forgives us — and how that mercy must flow outward to others.
​
This week, let us ask for the grace to forgive where we have resisted, to let go where we have held tight, and to trust that God can heal what feels too heavy for us alone.
Lord, soften our hearts and make us instruments of Your mercy.
for us alone.
​
Lord, soften our hearts and make us instruments of Your mercy.
Prayer for September
​
Lord of all seasons, As September unfolds, we welcome its calm and steady light. Bless our days with clarity, our work with purpose, and our hearts with peace. Guide us in every decision, steady us in every challenge, and remind us that Your presence goes before us in all things.
May this month be one of growth, gratitude, and renewed hope. Keep our families safe, our parish united, and our spirits open to Your grace. We entrust September to You, Lord— make it a time of blessing, healing, and quiet joy. Amen
