How Many Times?

The Journey Begins

Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Year A

We can be honest with ourselves and with God as we realize that we too often have asked that same question, "How many times must I forgive?"

Generous God, you have given so much to us in love and joy – every good thing in our life reflects your caring. Even in the giving of our offerings, we have tried to give our best but know we could do more. In a world where forgiveness has become a rare commodity, it is often an asset we hold back to maintain power over one another. Help us to hear the teaching of Jesus in the generosity of forgiveness. May we learn to give that to others with wild extravagance! We pray in Christ’s name, who gave all. Amen. (Matt 18:21-35)
