Reflections on life, meaning and purpose

This Sunday, There Is No Forgiveness Without Gratitude…

Peter asks a great question, but a question which is, nonetheless, ego-driven on the 24th Sunday in ordinary Time, Year A.He wants to know how often to forgive, and even guesses a number. Jesus gives him a number 1,000 percent higher and tells him a story that demonstrates just how selfish Peter’s original question was.It’s also a story that points to a solution that I’ve found transformative.First of all, this Gospel is a necessary follow-up to last week’s.
