GOSPEL 

"If your brother comes to you seven times a day saying: 'I repent', you will forgive him" 

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17, 1-6 

At that time,

    Jesus said to his disciples:

“It is inevitable that scandals arise,

occasions of downfall;

but unhappy he by whom this happens!

    It is better that a stone grindstone be tied around his neck

and thrown into the sea,

rather than an occasion

for a fall for one of the little ones here. 

    Take care of yourselves!

If your brother has sinned,

reproach him vigorously,

and, if he repents, forgive him.

    Even if seven times a day he commits a sin against you,

and seven times in a row he comes back to you

saying: “I repent”,

you will forgive him. " 

    The Apostles said to the Lord:

“Increase your faith in us! "

    The Lord replied,

" If you had faith

as big as a mustard seed,

you could say to this tree:

    'Be uprooted and planted in the sea, "

and it would obey you. "
