Father Jean tells us that today’s Gospel focuses on God’s Mercy and the ability for us to change our mind, to repent. God’s Justice and Mercy are always in balance. Do we have stubborn minds and hearts? Father Jean reminds us that we get second and third chances with God! We shouldn’t despair, shouldn’t give up, despite our failings. We can always make good on our promise to the Lord.
Fr. Aveni Chat (September 23)
Father Aveni speaks about St. Matthew as a role model. He encourages us to see others as Jesus sees them and see ourselves as Jesus sees us. Father Paul also challenges us with “I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least – Dorothy Day” (Dorothy Day). He also announces changes to the “weekly message” scheduling.
