Question of the Week for

September 13

Reconciliation means

making a relationship whole again. Whom do I need to forgive to make our relationship

whole once more?

In a way, today’s Gospel is a logical extension of the golden rule. Earlier, Jesus taught his disciples, “Do to

others whatever you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12). Today’s parable teaches them: Forgive others as you would have them forgive you. He closes with the kicker: God will forgive you as you forgive others. None of us is sinless. None of us always does the right thing. None of us is proud of our weakest moment. Yes, we may be in the right in whatever case is leading to our resentment or anger. But if we don’t forgive the person who injured us, we can’t expect forgiveness from God, let alone a neighbor we ourselves have

wronged.
