Amen today we celebrate St Adrian Martyr, the Gospel of St. Chapter
eighteen verses twenty- one to thirty- five. At that time, Peter
approached Jesus and asked him, Sir, if my brother offends me how many
times I have to forgive him. Up to seven times. Jesus answers him.
I' m not telling you, up to seven times, up to
seventy times seven. This is why it seems that the Kingdom of Heaven to
a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. To begin to adjust
it, there was one who owed ten thousand talents, as he had nothing
to pay for. The lord commanded that his wife and children and all his
possessions should sell to him and that he should pay in this way. The
servant threw himself at his feet, pleaded with him, saying, bear with
me, and I will repay you. Everything was pityed by the lord of
that servant and let him go, forgiving him the debt, but when he
came out he raised one of his companions who owed him a hundred denarii and
grabbed him and strangled him by saying to me what you took and the companion,
throwing himself at his feet, begged him by saying to you patiently with
me, I will repay you, but he refused and went and put him
in prison until he paid what he owed. His companions were dismayed and went
to tell their lord everything that happened. Then the lord called and said evil
servant all that debt. I forgave you. Why you begged me. You
should not also have compassion on your companion as I had compassion on you and
Lord Indignado gave it to the executioners until he will pay all the debt.
He will do the same to you, my Heavenly Father. If everyone does
not forgive from heart his brother begins Pope Francis, why should we convert the
compression with closure. To whom the atheist becomes a sinner, he becomes righteous,
but to us we have no need. We' re Christians now,
so we' re good at thinking like that. We do not realize that
this presumption is necessary. It is precisely from that presumption that we must become
all good Christians, that we are well off the assumption that in general it
goes well and we do not need any kind of conversion. But let us
ask ourselves it is true that in various seasons and circumstances of life, we
have in ourselves the same feelings of Jesus. It' s true that we
feel the way he does. For example, when we suffer some evil offering,
we manage to ration without animosity and to forgive those who apologize from the
heart. How difficult it is to forgive as it is difficult, but you
will pay. That phrase comes from within. When we are called to break
joys and sorrows, we weep sincerely with those who weep and rejoice with those
who rejoice. When we express our faith, we do so with courage and
simplicity, without embarrassing them of the Gospel, and so we can ask ourselves
many questions. We' re not okay. We always have to turn into
having the feelings that Jesus had. God shows us his love forgiving us our
sins infinite debts we have with him, offers us his mercy so that we
too can be merciful to others. Forgiveness is a characteristic of God' s
perfect love of men, but he needs us to have his mercy come upon
the people. He wants us to be instruments of his forgiveness. He wants
to show men their forgiveness through us when he invites us to love as he
loves us, he also refers to forgiveness. Forgiveness is the perfection of charity.
It costs us a lot because it requires that we overcome our pride and
be humble. But only in this way can we be his apostles and bring
his love to the world. God needs us and calls us to that wonderful
mission, that instrument of his love and forgiveness. Sir how many times I
have to forgive with this answer. Jesus does not tell us that forgiveness is
easy, but that it is an absolutely indispensable requirement for our life. We
could say it' s a commandment, because it tells us forgiveness. Otherwise,
the Heart is found as a city besieged by the enemy, charity surrounded
by hatred and spiritual progress submerged in a deep well. On the other hand,
we should not worry about the other man' s characteristic. If we
have done what was on our part, each one is diverse and, therefore,
each one will account to God for what he has done in his life
and with his actions. Our heart must be a castle where only the queen
of God is love, as St John says his first pistola and as such
hates hatred. If, on the contrary, we allow hatred into our hearts,
Christ will abandon the place he was occupying within us, because he cannot
be friends with those who hate. For this reason, we must work on
loving the place to hate, understanding the place to think wrong forgiving, rather
than seeking revenge by hating we kill our soul. The desire for revenge means
that one wants to overcome another, in doing evil and this, instead of
healing the situation, worsens it. Let us ask Christ for the grace to
have a heart like his that knows how to love and forgive, despite the
great or small difficulties of life. Jesus, today I offer you my sins
and my weakness, because I am your debtor. I know you want to
forgive me. That' s why I come with great confidence. I trust
your merits and your death. I want to be the instrument of your forgiveness.
Give me this grace. I know that forgiveness is the solution to many
of my problems. Help me to be humble and accept my own faults and
those of the people on my side. Help me to be an apostle of
your forgiveness. You of blessing. I am all- powerful to you.
Bless with all manner of heavenly goods that you may be holy and reproachable in
his presence. Pour upon you the riches of his grace, or be instructed
with the proof of truth and with the gospel of salvation that enriches you with
the fraternal charity and blessing of God, almighty father, son, and holy
spirit, come down upon you, and abide always Amen.
