Ezekiel 18:21-28. If you, O Lord, laid bare our guilt, who could endure it? – Ps 129(130). Matthew 5:20-26.
Forgive and be reconciled
Today’s Gospel reading offers a practical as well as a spiritual reminder – forgive and be reconciled. Mercy is one of the highest forms of love we are able to give. Knowing that we also sin and are in need of forgiveness offers wisdom that will make us whole.
Meditate on these points. Whom do you need to forgive? Offer that forgiveness whether it has been asked for or whether you think it is deserved. What have you done to distance yourself from or to harm others? Reconcile and seek forgiveness. If you do these things then and only then will you be able to call yourself a disciple.
