THE YEAR OF THE WORD

-THE GOD WHO SPEAKS

Meditation: “Forgive us our trespasses as

we forgive those who trespass against us”

we pray in the Our Father every day. The

tragedy of today’s parable is the short

memory of the servant. We are appalled by

such behaviour without realising that we are

that servant who does not forgive. The only

way which will bring us to forgive is by

remembering the times God has forgiven us.

Action: Forgiveness is not forgetfulness, on

the contrary, we remember the wrong done

to us and decided not to retaliate. The first

step to forgiving someone is to pray for

them. Think of someone you need to pray

for and do so at mass today.
