Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time – September 17, 2017
Gospel Reading: Matthew 18:21-35
“Then Peter, approaching, asked [Jesus], ‘Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times? Jesus answered, ‘I say to you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
It is critical for our students in Catholic schools to know about God’s forgiveness. They must know the importance of both asking forgiveness and showing remorse when they have done something wrong, and accepting forgiveness when someone has done something wrong to them but then showed remorse. Remember that it is also possible for teachers to say “I’m sorry” if they have done something wrong – this would be a very important lesson indeed!
How can we encourage our students to experience God’s forgiveness?
