At that time, Peter 12 00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:17,799 approached Jesus and asked him, Sir, if my brother offends me how many 13 00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:21,920 times I have to forgive him. Up to seven times. Jesus answers him. 14 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,840 I' m not telling you, up to seven times, up to 15 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,319 seventy times seven. This is why it seems that the Kingdom of Heaven to 16 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,319 a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. To begin to adjust 17 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,239 it, there was one who owed ten thousand talents, as he had nothing 18 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,879 to pay for. The lord commanded that his wife and children and all his 19 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,799 possessions should sell to him and that he should pay in this way. The 20 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,319 servant threw himself at his feet, pleaded with him, saying, bear with 21 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,159 me, and I will repay you. Everything was pityed by the lord of 22 00:01:53,239 --> 00:02:00,000 that servant and let him go, forgiving him the debt, but when he 23 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,799 came out he raised one of his companions who owed him a hundred denarii and 24 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,280 grabbed him and strangled him by saying to me what you took and the companion, 25 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,039 throwing himself at his feet, begged him by saying to you patiently with 26 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,800 me, I will repay you, but he refused and went and put him 27 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,280 in prison until he paid what he owed. His companions were dismayed and went 28 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:25,800 to tell their lord everything that happened. Then the lord called and said evil 29 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,199 servant all that debt. I forgave you. Why you begged me. You 30 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,599 should not also have compassion on your companion as I had compassion on you and 31 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,120 Lord Indignado gave it to the executioners until he will pay all the debt. 32 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,439 He will do the same to you, my Heavenly Father. If everyone does 33 00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,080 not forgive from heart his brother begins Pope Francis, why should we convert the 34 00:02:53,080 --> 00:03:00,280 compression with closure. To whom the atheist becomes a sinner, he becomes righteous, 35 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:06,960 but to us we have no need. We' re Christians now, 36 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,479 so we' re good at thinking like that. We do not realize that 37 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,120 this presumption is necessary. It is precisely from that presumption that we must become 38 00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:23,560 all good Christians, that we are well off the assumption that in general it 39 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,360 goes well and we do not need any kind of conversion. But let us 40 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:35,479 ask ourselves it is true that in various seasons and circumstances of life, we 41 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,439 have in ourselves the same feelings of Jesus. It' s true that we 42 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,120 feel the way he does. For example, when we suffer some evil offering, 43 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,439 we manage to ration without animosity and to forgive those who apologize from the 44 00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:54,280 heart. How difficult it is to forgive as it is difficult, but you 45 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,280 will pay. That phrase comes from within. When we are called to break 46 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,560 joys and sorrows, we weep sincerely with those who weep and rejoice with those 47 00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:10,080 who rejoice. When we express our faith, we do so with courage and 48 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,599 simplicity, without embarrassing them of the Gospel, and so we can ask ourselves 49 00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,639 many questions. We' re not okay. We always have to turn into 50 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:26,800 having the feelings that Jesus had. God shows us his love forgiving us our 51 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,000 sins infinite debts we have with him, offers us his mercy so that we 52 00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:39,199 too can be merciful to others. Forgiveness is a characteristic of God' s 53 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,800 perfect love of men, but he needs us to have his mercy come upon 54 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,639 the people. He wants us to be instruments of his forgiveness. He wants 55 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,800 to show men their forgiveness through us when he invites us to love as he 56 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,879 loves us, he also refers to forgiveness. Forgiveness is the perfection of charity. 57 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,720 It costs us a lot because it requires that we overcome our pride and 58 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,360 be humble. But only in this way can we be his apostles and bring 59 00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,319 his love to the world. God needs us and calls us to that wonderful 60 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,720 mission, that instrument of his love and forgiveness. Sir how many times I 61 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,199 have to forgive with this answer. Jesus does not tell us that forgiveness is 62 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:32,000 easy, but that it is an absolutely indispensable requirement for our life. We 63 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,720 could say it' s a commandment, because it tells us forgiveness. Otherwise, 64 00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:41,639 the Heart is found as a city besieged by the enemy, charity surrounded 65 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,279 by hatred and spiritual progress submerged in a deep well. On the other hand, 66 00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:55,399 we should not worry about the other man' s characteristic. If we 67 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,079 have done what was on our part, each one is diverse and, therefore, 68 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,600 each one will account to God for what he has done in his life 69 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,600 and with his actions. Our heart must be a castle where only the queen 70 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,560 of God is love, as St John says his first pistola and as such 71 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,279 hates hatred. If, on the contrary, we allow hatred into our hearts, 72 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,319 Christ will abandon the place he was occupying within us, because he cannot 73 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:27,600 be friends with those who hate. For this reason, we must work on 74 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:33,399 loving the place to hate, understanding the place to think wrong forgiving, rather 75 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:40,600 than seeking revenge by hating we kill our soul. The desire for revenge means 76 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,079 that one wants to overcome another, in doing evil and this, instead of 77 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,560 healing the situation, worsens it. Let us ask Christ for the grace to 78 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:53,199 have a heart like his that knows how to love and forgive, despite the 79 00:06:53,279 --> 00:07:00,839 great or small difficulties of life. Jesus, today I offer you my sins 80 00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,199 and my weakness, because I am your debtor. I know you want to 81 00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:09,319 forgive me. That' s why I come with great confidence. I trust 82 00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:13,680 your merits and your death. I want to be the instrument of your forgiveness. 83 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,560 Give me this grace. I know that forgiveness is the solution to many 84 00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:23,879 of my problems. Help me to be humble and accept my own faults and 85 00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:27,160 those of the people on my side. Help me to be an apostle of 86 00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,879 your forgiveness. You of blessing. I am all- powerful to you. 87 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,680 Bless with all manner of heavenly goods that you may be holy and reproachable in 88 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,920 his presence. Pour upon you the riches of his grace, or be instructed 89 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,279 with the proof of truth and with the gospel of salvation that enriches you with 90 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:47,399 the fraternal charity and blessing of God, almighty father, son, and holy 91 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:54,639 spirit, come down upon you, and abide always Amen.
