"The master handed him over to the torturers."
About this Holy Mass: We say in the Our Father: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." But those do not forgive, who nourish hatred in their hearts, they think only of revenge, and never forget an offense. They act like the "wicked servant." "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." 🤗️
Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Mass of, Twenty First Sunday After Pentecost. Today's Mass lesson for traditional Catholics; Lesson from Holy Gospel: Mathew 18, 23-35. At that time Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: "The kingdom of God is likened to a king who would take an account of his servants." And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him that owed him ten thousand talents. And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. But that servant, falling down, besought him, saying: "Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all." And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and forgave him the debt. But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him a hundred pence; and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: "Pay what thou owest." And his fellow servant, falling down, besought him, saying: "Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all." And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt. Now his fellow servants, seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done. Then his lord called him, and said to him: "Thou wicked servant! I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me: shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?" And his lord, being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt. So also shall My heavenly Father "God" do also to you, if you forgive not every one of his brothers from your hearts. 🤨️
What does Jesus teach us by this parable?
The king is God; the servant is mankind; the ten thousand talents, equal to ten millions of dollars, signify the enormous and excessive debts which men contract by their sins against God: a sum so exceedingly great as to show clearly that the debt of man to God is without limit, and truly overwhelming. The hundred pence, a small sum, equal to perhaps six or seven dollars, denotes the offences which others have given us, and which, in comparison with our offenses against God, are insignificant. By this parable, therefore, Jesus intended to say: As God forgives your immense debts if you sorrowfully pray for forgiveness, so ought you to forgive your fellow men their comparatively light debts when they ask forgiveness of you. Unless you grant it, you shall receive no pardon from My Father. 😓️
Who are like that unmerciful servants?
All unmerciful and hard hearted persons; particularly, 1, rulers who oppress the people by excessive taxes; 2, those who oppress widows and orphans, and keep from servants the wages due them; 3, those who have no patience with their debtors, but deprive them of house and goods rather than be indulgent to them. God will deal with such men in the other world as they have dealt with their neighbors in this. 4. Finally, all persons who will not forgive injuries done them, but preserve hatred in their hearts; who bring such as have injured them before the courts, and even seek to injure them out of revenge. How can they hope to obtain mercy? 🤔️
What is meant by forgiving from the heart?
It is to banish from the heart all hatred and desire of revenge; to bear in our hearts a sincere love towards our enemy, and to manifest it by works of charity. If we think of the multitude of sins which God has forgiven us, how can we refuse to forgive trifling wrongs against ourselves? At any rate, let us not forget that God forgives us only when we also forgive from the heart of others. 🤨️
