GOSPEL
"If he listens to you, you have won your brother"
Alleluia. Alleluia.
In Christ, God was reconciling the world with him:
he put the word of reconciliation in our mouths.
Alleluia. (cf. 2 Cor 5:19)
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18, 15-20
At that time,
Jesus was saying to his disciples:
“If your brother has sinned against you,
go and reproach him alone.
If he listens to you, you've won over your brother.
If he does not listen to you,
take one or two more people with you
so that the whole affair is settled
on the word of two or three witnesses.
If he refuses to listen to them,
tell the assembly of the Church;
if he still refuses to listen to the Church,
consider him a pagan and a tax collector.
Amen, I say to you,
whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth
will be loosed in heaven.
And likewise, amen, I tell you,
if any two of you on earth
agree to ask for anything,
they will get it from my Father who is in heaven.
Indeed, when two or three are gathered in my name,
I am there, in the midst of them. "
- Let us acclaim the Word of God.
