Mass Readings: February 26
First: Daniel 3:25,34-43
Resp: Psalm 25:4-9
Gospel: Matthew 18:21-35
Matthew 18:33 And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?'
How can we say we have faith in God when we fail to show mercy to our brother? In some sense this is the most basic test of faith. First can we learn and do what God shows us to do, and then can we trust Him. We think that if we show mercy we will be weak and will give up what we think is "rightfully" ours, but God can make anything out of nothing. Do we believe it?
Father, it is easy not to trust your mercy because we are too familiar with not showing mercy. Please be patient with us and help us to see and trust in you and your love.
Amen
