How often?
March 10, 2015 6:53 am
“Peter approached Jesus and asked him, ‘Lord, if my brother sins against me,
how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.’” (Mt 18: 21-22)
It looks like this conversation was about forgiveness hidden in numbers: seven times or seventy-seven times? This is rather a lesson about sins and sinners and about God’s unlimited power to always forgive our sins when we ask Him. How often? Always, when He is asked!
“Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart; for I am gracious and merciful.” (Gospel Acclamation)
