Sunday’s Gospel reading continues Jesus’ instructions on being good stewards of others; the direction that if we love Jesus Christ, we must forgive an individual 77 times. The reading compels us to consider one of the most difficult practices of Christian discipleship. Forgiveness is the way of Jesus, the way of the cross. Vengeance, bitterness and hatred seem so much easier and certainly more desirable. Forgiveness is a hard road to travel, but it is the only road that leads to life in Christ. Consider this week who you need to forgive.

Stewardship Moment: Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s second reading, St. Paul enjoins us to be indebted to no one. Debt creates the kind of pressure that impedes our relationship with Jesus Christ. But there is one debt we will always owe and never be able to pay off fully: the debt of showing love to others. We will never reach the place where we can say, “Now I love others as much as I ought, and that’s enough.” No matter how much we’ve grown in faith we will always be required to grow in love. Good stewards realize that God does not call them just to love those who are easy to love, but to love the unloved and the hard-to-love people in this world as well. This week, remind yourself, “I am put here as an ambassador of God’s love.”
