My Dear Friends,

In the Gospel for this Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity, Peter asks Jesus how many times one ought to extend forgiveness to another. Peter proposes a reasonable number of times, perhaps seven. Jesus replies by extending Peter's proposal by an enormous amount; not just seven times should one forgive, but seventy-seven times. In the parable of the unforgiving servant which follows, we come to understand the depths of God's mercy toward us and the results of our acceptance of God's forgiveness.

The king in the parable decides to settle accounts with his servants. We are told that one servant owes the king an enormous sum of money. Despite the promise of the servant, it is unlikely that he would ever be able to repay the debt that he owes. The king is moved by the humility of the pleading servant and mercifully forgives the debt. Rather than displaying gratitude for this forgiveness, the servant confronts a fellow servant who owes him a small debt — a pittance when compared with the amount that was owed to the king. The unmerciful servant refuses the pleas of his fellow servant and sends the servant to prison.

Some other servants tell the merciful king about the actions of the unforgiving servant. The king punishes that servant because he refused to show the kind of mercy he had himself received from the king. Jesus says that this is how it will be with God and those who refuse to forgive one another.
There is a temptation to quantify forgiveness as Peter tried to do, but Jesus' point is that forgiveness is not about the number of times we extend forgiveness to another. In the parable the king's forgiveness is like God's forgiveness, and it transforms us, helping us to be as forgiving as God. The lesson is clear: If we hoard God's mercy while showing no mercy to others, we risk forfeiting the effects of God's mercy in our lives.

With my love and prayer,
Fr. Richard

My Dear Friends,

In the Gospel for this Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity, In Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus teaches what it means to live together as a Christian community. At its heart is a simple but profound truth: we are not called to follow Christ alone. We are gathered into a people, given to one another, to discover the grace of God in the life we share.

The passage follows the disciples’ question about greatness in the kingdom. Jesus answers by placing a child among them and shows the kingdom is built not on status but on humility and trust. He then tells the parable of the lost sheep, revealing a God who notices the one who is missing and goes in search of them. Jesus is describing the kind of community the kingdom of God creates: one in which people matter, in which we are responsible for one another, listening, speaking honestly, and forgiving one another when we make mistakes.

There is a striking generosity in this vision of the Church. We are not meant to make our way through life alone. God gives us companions for the journey — people of different gifts and histories, each contributing to the life of the whole. We receive from one another, encourage one another, and sometimes carry one another when the road is hard. This is why Jesus’ words about speaking honestly with one another matter: love is not mere sentiment but attention, patience, the discipline of taking someone seriously. Such things may seem small, but they are how the kingdom becomes visible in ordinary lives.

Then comes the Gospel’s climax: ‘Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.’ The Christian community is more than the sum of its members. We gather not because we are alike or have everything resolved, but because Christ has called us together — and his presence is woven into the life we share.

The Church is a gift before it is a responsibility. Our task is to receive it with gratitude, and let Christ’s love shape how we live together.

With my love and prayer,
Fr. Richard

My Dear Friends,

The Gospel for this Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity picks up the story that began in last week’s Gospel. Simon Peter was called the ‘rock’ upon which Jesus would build his Church, and yet Peter continues to show the limitations of his understanding of Jesus’ identity. Now that the disciples have acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus confides in them the outcome of his ministry: he must suffer and die in Jerusalem to be raised on the third day. Peter rejects this prediction, and Jesus rebukes him severely, calling him ‘Satan’. In questioning Jesus’ mission, Peter is no longer speaking out of the revelation from God but as a human being. Jesus is teaching the disciples about the difficult path of discipleship: to follow in his way of the cross.

Peter could not yet understand what it meant to call Jesus the Messiah and it’s unlikely that the other disciples knew any better. Under Roman occupation, many in Israel hoped and prayed that God would send a Messiah to free the Jews from Roman oppression. This is perhaps what Peter imagined when he recognised Jesus as the Messiah. In this passage, however, Jesus is beginning to teach his disciples that he would be the Messiah in a different way.

Jesus would be more like the suffering servant described by the prophet Isaiah than the political liberator. Those who would be Jesus' disciples would be called to a similar life of service. Perhaps this is what Peter feared most when Jesus predicted is Passion. He whom Jesus had called ‘rock’ would also be called upon to offer himself in sacrifice and service to others. Christians are still called to sacrifice and serve others as Jesus did.

As St Paul exhorts us in the second reading, from his Letter to the Romans, rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.

With my love and prayer,
Fr. Richard

My Dear Friends,

In the Gospel for this Twelfth Sunday after Trinity, Jesus asks his disciples what people are saying about who he is. The disciples indicate that most people believe that Jesus is a prophet of Israel. Then Jesus asks his disciples who they believe that he is. Simon Peter answers, identifying Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God.

Jesus commends Simon Peter for this profession of faith, indicating that this insight has come from God. Because of Simon Peter’s response, Jesus calls him the ‘rock’ upon which Jesus will build the Church. This is a word play on the name Peter, which is the Greek word for ‘rock’. Peter is then given special authority by Jesus, a symbolic key to the Kingdom of Heaven. Peter will go on to play an important role in the early Christian community as a leader before laying down his life in martyrdom.

In today’s Gospel, Peter’s recognition of Jesus’ identity is credited to a revelation by God. This will contrast sharply with Jesus’ rebuke of Peter in next week’s Gospel. When Peter rejects Jesus’ prediction of his passion and death, Peter is said to no longer be thinking as God does but as humans do.

The use of the term church in today’s Gospel is one of only three such occurrences in Matthew’s Gospel. Peter in this Gospel is being credited as the foundation for the Church, a privilege granted to him because of his recognition of Jesus’ identity. The Church continues to be grounded in the faith that Jesus Christ is Lord.

With my love and prayer,
Fr. Richard

My Dear Friends,

In the Gospel reading set for this Eleventh Sunday after Trinity, Jesus teaches that it is not what goes into us that makes us unclean. He is referring to the strict Jewish dietary rules. Instead our words and our actions — what comes out of us — make us unclean because they emerge from a heart that is unclean.

Knowing about Jesus’ debate with the Pharisees helps us to understand today’s Gospel. In fact the story heightens the surprise and shock we feel as we hear Jesus’ exchange with the Canaanite woman. The woman, who is not Jewish, approaches Jesus, requesting that he heal her demon-possessed daughter. At first Jesus ignores her; he says nothing. The disciples ask Jesus to send her away, and Jesus agrees, remarking that he was sent to minister to the Jews alone.

The woman persists, paying homage to Jesus, and yet Jesus denies her request again. He even insults her, using a Jewish word of derision for Gentiles, ‘dog.’ But the woman cleverly turns Jesus’ insult into an affirmation of faith. Only then does Jesus grant her request and heal her daughter.
Jesus’ apparent hardness of heart towards this woman may strike us as uncharacteristic – even shocking. Yet in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus’ ministry is directed first to the people of Israel. At only a few points do we find Jesus anticipating the later expansion of Christian ministry to the rest of the world.

Matthew is expressing something of this early Christian community’s struggle to understand how God choosing Israel aligns with two events: Israel’s rejection of Jesus and the Gentiles’ acceptance of Jesus. Just as Jesus was surprised by the faith expressed by the Canaanite woman, so too the first Christians were surprised that the Gentiles would receive the salvation God offered through Christ.

The faith expressed by the Canaanite woman is a declaration of confidence in God’s abundant mercy.

Salvation does indeed come through Israel, but it overflows for the benefit of all.

With my love and prayer,
Fr. Richard

My Dear Friends,

The Gospel for this Tenth Sunday after Trinity follows last week’s account of Jesus feeding a crowd of more than five thousand people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. For the sake of the crowds, Jesus had postponed his time of solitude. Now, at last, Jesus finds some time for quiet and prayer. He sends his disciples ahead of him by boat, dismisses the crowds, and then withdraws to the mountain to pray.

The disciples struggle to weather the wind and waves, making little progress in their journey. Jesus does not calm the seas, and the disciples do not express fear until they see Jesus walking toward them on the water. In this story it is not the storm that is feared but the sight of Jesus before them, whom they mistake for a ghost.

Like last week’s Gospel about the feeding of the multitude, today’s Gospel is also about what the disciples’ faith in Jesus will enable them to do. Last week we heard how, when the disciples see the crowds, they ask Jesus to send them away. Jesus turns the situation around, telling the disciples to feed the crowd with the provisions that they have.

Jesus calls to the disciples and calms their fears. He is not a ghost. The impulsive Peter seeks proof that this is indeed Jesus, asking him to call him out onto the water, and Jesus grants this request. Peter’s fear and doubt overtake him, however, once he is walking on the water. Jesus reaches out to Peter and saves him and when they enter the boat, Matthew reports that the wind ceases, and the disciples confess that Jesus is the Son of God.

Faith in Jesus will enable the disciples to do the work that Jesus has done. Peter walks on water. The five loaves and two fish feed a multitude of people. The disciples can and will participate in the work of the kingdom of heaven. When Peter fears and doubts the person of Jesus, however, he falters. Peter’s example teaches us that true Christian ministry emerges from the faith that Jesus is the Messiah, God’s only Son.

May our faith be strengthened, that we might put all our trust in him.

With my love and prayer,
Fr. Richard
