FAITH BOOK 24th SUNDAY (A) September 13, 2026 Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home. Sirach 27: 30-28:7; Psalm 103; Romans 14: 7-9; Matthew 18: 21-35 Jude Siciliano, OP From today’s Gospel reading:
I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?
Reflection:
In Jesus teaching it is quite clear, we must be known by our forgiveness, not because we have to earn it from God. But because God has already forgiven us without reservation or limits. If we hold back forgiveness from others, then this is a sign we have not accepted it ourselves from God and allowed it to enter our hearts to change us. Christians are those who live and act in the light of God’s forgiveness.
So, we ask ourselves:
· After receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation am I convinced in faith that all I have confessed has been forgiven? · When else do I experience an assurance of God’s forgiveness?
