"This is how my heavenly Father will treat you, if each of you does not forgive your brother"
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Matthew (18, 21-35)
At that time, Peter approached Jesus to ask him: “Lord, when my brother commits sins against me, how many times must I forgive him? Up to seven times? "Jesus answered him:" I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven times. Thus, the kingdom of Heaven is comparable to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. He was beginning when someone brought him someone who owed him ten thousand talents (that is, sixty million pieces of silver). As this man did not have enough to repay, the master ordered to sell him, with his wife, his children and all his goods, in repayment of his debt. Then, falling at his feet, the servant remained prostrate and said: "Be patient with me, and I will repay you for everything." Seized with compassion,
But, on leaving, this servant found one of his companions who owed him a hundred pieces of silver. He threw himself on him to strangle him, saying: “Pay off your debt!” Then, falling at his feet, his companion begged him: "Be patient with me, and I will reimburse you." But the other refused and had him thrown in jail until he paid back what he owed. His companions, seeing this, were deeply saddened and went to tell their master all that had happened. So the latter called him and said to him: “Evil servant! I forgave you all this debt because you begged me. Should you not, in your turn, have pity on your companion, as I myself had had pity on you? ” In his anger, his master handed him over to the executioners until he had repaid all he owed.
This is how my heavenly Father will treat you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from the bottom of your heart. "
