    Here are some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the 24th Sunday of the Year.

    1st Reading – Sirach 27:30-28:9

    • While wrath and anger are hateful things, the sinner hugs them tight.
    • If a person expects mercy and pardon for sins, enmity must be set aside.

      • Psalm – 103:1-4,9-12

      • “The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in compassion.”
      • God pardons, heals, and redeems us out of kindness.

        • 2nd Reading – Romans 14:7-9

        • None of us lives or dies for oneself, but for the Lord.
        • Christ has died and rose that he might be Lord of the dead and the living.

          • Gospel – Matthew 18:21-35

          • When asked by Peter how often must he forgive his brother, Jesus offers a parable about a servant who failed to forgive someone in a small way after he had experienced great forgiveness from his master.
          • The Lord then applies the parable to us all: we must forgive one another if we expect to be forgiven by God.
