First Reading

Sirach 27:30—28:9

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 103:1-4,9-12

A song of praise to God who is kind and merciful.

Second Reading

Romans 14:7-9

We belong to the Lord.

Gospel Reading

Matthew 18:21-35

Jesus teaches that we must forgive one another as God has

forgiven us.

Background on the Gospel Reading

Today's Gospel reading directly follows last week's Gospel in

which Jesus taught the disciples how to handle disputes and

conflict within the Christian community. In today's reading

Peter asks Jesus how many times one ought to extend

forgiveness to another. Peter proposes a reasonable number of

times, perhaps seven. Jesus replies by extending Peter's

proposal by an enormous amount; not just seven times should

one forgive, but 77 times. The parable of the unforgiving

servant is Jesus' elaboration of his initial reply to Peter.

Through the parable we come to understand the depths of God's

mercy toward us and the results of our acceptance of God's

forgiveness.

The king in the parable decides to settle accounts with his

servants. We are told that one servant in particular owes the

king an enormous sum of money. Despite the promise of the

servant, it is unlikely that he would ever be able to repay the

debt that he owes. The king is moved by the humility of the

pleading servant and mercifully forgives the debt. Rather than

displaying gratitude for this forgiveness, the servant confronts a

fellow servant who owes him a small debt—a pittance when

compared with the amount that was owed to the king. The

unmerciful servant refuses the pleas of his fellow servant and

sends the servant to prison.

A few other servants tell the merciful king about the actions of

the unforgiving servant. The king punishes the servant because

he refused to show the kind of mercy he had himself received

from the king. Jesus concludes by indicating that this is how it

will be with God and those who refuse to forgive one another.

There is a temptation to quantify forgiveness as Peter tried to

do, but Jesus' point is that forgiveness is not about quantity—

the number of times we extend forgiveness to another. In the

parable the king's forgiveness is like God's forgiveness, and it

transforms us, helping us to be as forgiving as God. The lesson

is clear: If we hoard God's mercy while showing no mercy to

others, we risk forfeiting the effects of God's mercy in our lives.
