Matthew 18:21-35

We have for our reflection today a very important subject ..forgiveness. Pater goes up and asks the Lord how often should he forgive. He obviously shoots for the high and perfect number of 7 only to be told …. Ah bro don’t keep count for your own sanity.

Let me play Jesus just for a second. I would ask Pater a second question. Pete why do you think you ought to be forgiving folk so much Are you easily offended? Do you think that people are constantly getting on your nerves? You might be the issue Pete!

Very holy people sometimes feel the need to constantly forgive us as we blunder our way into heaven. I am not saying there aren’t people out there who have been hurt. Trust me I know betrayal. I have a few knives in my back. The point is as we forgive we must also look at ourselves and check if we are contributing to the issue. Love you
