- Boundless Forgiveness: In response to Peter,
Jesus showcases the idea that forgiveness knows no bounds. He highlights
the importance of unlimited forgiveness.
- Mercy Illustrated: The Parable of the
Unforgiving Servant draws a sharp contrast between the master’s mercy and
the servant’s lack of it. This vividly shows the significance of being
merciful to others.
- Debt and Divine
Mercy: The
passage employs the concept of debt metaphorically to emphasize God’s
immense forgiveness. It encourages us to contemplate this divine mercy.
- Mutual Forgiveness: The parable’s principle of
“forgive as you wish to be forgiven” highlights the link between our
readiness to forgive and God’s forgiveness towards us.
- Compassion vs. Judgment: The tension between
the master’s compassion and eventual judgment underscores that our
compassion towards others directly influences the mercy we receive from
God.
- Genuine
Forgiveness: Jesus concludes by stressing heartfelt
forgiveness. It goes beyond mere words and actions, demanding a true
internal transformation. Forgiveness and letting go require substantial
effort.
- Spiritual
Acts of Mercy: The
themes of “Forgive Injuries” and “Bear Wrongs Patiently” align well with
Matthew 18:21-35. Forgiving injuries connects with the parable’s message
of limitless forgiveness, while enduring wrongs resonates with compassion
and the balance between judgment and mercy.

enmity and overlooking faults.
- Responsorial Psalm – Psalm
103: The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger, and rich in
compassion.
- Bless the Lord for his kindness and mercy. He pardons iniquities, heals ills, and redeems lives. His compassion is vast, putting transgressions far away from those who fear him.
- Second Reading – Romans
14:7-9: Whether living or dying, we belong to the Lord. Christ’s death
and resurrection affirm that he is Lord of both the living and the dead,
and our lives should reflect that.
- Gospel – Matthew
18:21-35: Jesus teaches about forgiveness using a parable of a servant
forgiven a huge debt but who then refuses to forgive a smaller debt. The

forgive others wholeheartedly.
