Reflection - Week of September 6

Question of the Week:


When have I been reluctant to correct someone who has done something wrong?

Have I considered doing so in an effort to put them on a path to forgiveness?





















     That having been said, with certain sins, especially ones that are criminal, confronting the wrongdoer is not advisable. But beyond testifying to civil authorities, we are each called to do what we can to reconcile the sinner with the Church, the body of Christ. As we are our brother’s and sister’s keeper when it comes to making sure their

material needs are satisfied, the same goes for their spiritual needs.

     There’s a lesson here for people who are neither wrongdoer nor victim but are aware of a wrong that was done. Too often people have turned a blind eye to something they know is wrong, choosing to not get involved. Throughout history, many terrible things have happened because no effort was made to stop the evildoer or hold them responsible for their wickedness. For the sake of future victims, if not the perpetrator,—who we believe is never beyond redemption—it is incumbent on us to become involved.

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation

"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."

-Bishop Larry Silva
