TRANSCRIPT
Prayer for Catechists O God, our Heavenly Father, you have given us the gift of these catechists to be heralds of the Gospel to our parish family. We lift them up to you in thanksgiving and intercede for them concerning their hopes and needs. May we be attentive to the presence of your Word in them, a Word that lifts up and affirms, calls forth and challenges, is compassionate and consoles. We pray that our parish family will always be blessed with those who have responded to the call to share in Christ’s prophetic mission as catechists. May we too be open to the universal call to service that Christ addresses to all of his disciples, contributing our gifts to the communion of faith, the Church. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
The theme throughout today’s readings from Holy Scripture has to do with forgiveness. We must always appreciate that forgiveness is a two way street. We need to seek forgiveness as all of us are likely to do. However, forgiveness is also something we need to grant to others.
Some scholars consider Matthew’s Chapter 18 from where our Gospel Reading comes today as perhaps among His most personal teachings to His disciples and others as spiritual leaders. There is no question that the Lord is in the process of preparing His followers for the time when they (we) must continue His Kingdom without His physical presence. He is trying to build up the sense of fellowship and cohesion among His flock.
Thus, He focuses on how to build up cooperation and unity in those who work to build His Kingdom. He makes it clear that for us to accomplish that requires forgiveness and reconciliation. The lesson for us is quite basic: we need to know and appreciate and understand the grace of Jesus and respond by learning how to forgive our sisters and brothers (all sisters and brothers in our Christian and Catholic fellowship).
Christ always forgives us if we come to Him with a humble and repentant heart, and He expects the same from us. We need to forgive others just as we are forgiven. As Jesus warns us in today’s Gospel: “So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you for-gives your brother (and sister) from your heart.”

REFLECION DOMINICAL El tema a lo largo de las lecturas de hoy de la Sagrada Escritura tiene que ver con el perdón. Debemos siempre apreciar que el perdón es una calle de dos vías. Necesitamos buscar el perdón como todos nosotros es probable que hagamos. Sin embargo, el perdón es también algo que debemos conceder a los demás.
Algunos estudiosos consideran el capítulo 18 de Mateo de donde nuestra lectura del Evangelio viene hoy como quizás entre Sus enseñanzas más personales a Sus discípulos y otros como líderes espirituales. No hay duda de que el Señor está en el proceso de preparar a Sus seguidores para el tiempo en que ellos (nosotros) debemos continuar Su Reino sin Su presencia física. Él está tratando de construir el sentido de comunión y cohesión entre Su rebaño.
Por lo tanto, Él se enfoca en cómo construir cooperación y unidad en aquellos que trabajan para construir Su Reino. Él deja en claro que para nosotros lograrlo requiere perdón y reconciliación. La lección para nosotros es muy básica: necesitamos conocer, apreciar y entender la gracia de Jesús y responder aprendiendo a perdonar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas (hermanos y hermanas en nuestra comunión cristiana y católica).
Cristo siempre nos perdona si llegamos a Él con un corazón humilde y arrepentido, y Él espera lo mismo de nosotros. Necesitamos perdonar a otros tal como somos perdonados. Como Jesús nos advierte en el Evangelio de hoy: "Así hará mi Padre celestial a vosotros, a menos que cada uno de vosotros perdone a vuestro hermano (y hermana) de vuestro corazón".
