A Special Act of Sorrow

Forgive me my sins, O Lord,
forgive me my sins;
the sins of my youth,
the sins of my age,
the sins of my soul,
the sins of my body;
my idle sins,
my serious voluntary sins,
the sins I know,
the sins I have concealed so long,
and which are now hidden from my memory.

I am truly sorry for every sin,
mortal and venial,
for all the sins of my childhood
up to the present hour.

I know my sins have wounded Thy tender Heart,
O my Savior,
let me be freed from the bonds of evil
through the most bitter Passion of my Redeemer.

O my Jesus,
forget and forgive what I have been.

Amen.

What was the gospel message and the priest homily at Mass today?

13/09/2026

*SEPTEMBER 13TH 2026.*

*TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR A.*

*FIRST READING*
“Forgive your neighbor the wrong he has done, and then your sins will be forgiven when you pray.”

*A reading from the Book of Sirach (SIRACH 27: 30 - 28: 7)*

Anger and wrath, these also are abominations, and the sinful man will possess them. He that takes vengeance will suffer vengeance from the Lord, and he will firmly establish his sins. Forgive your neighbor the wrong he has done, and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray. Does a man harbor anger against another, and yet seek for healing from the Lord? Does he have no mercy towards a man like himself, and yet pray for his own sins? If he himself, being flesh, maintains wrath, will he then seek forgiveness from God? Who will make expiation for his sins? Remember the end of your life, and cease from enmity, remember destruction and death, and be true to the commandments. Remember the commandments, and do not be angry with your neighbour; remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook ignorance.

*The Word of the Lord.*

*RESPONSORIAL PSALM*
Taken from Psalm 103: 1 - 2, 3 - 4, 9 - 10, 11 - 12 (R.) 8

And the response is;
*R/. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and rich in mercy.*

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And all within me, his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And never forget all his benefits. *R/.*

It is the Lord who forgives all your sins,
who heals every one of your ills,
who redeems your life from the grave,
who crowns you with mercy and compassion. *R/.*

He will not always find fault;
nor persist in his anger forever.
He does not treat us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our faults. *R/.*

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So strong his mercy for those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west,
So far from us does he remove our transgressions. *R/.*

*SECOND READING*
“Whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.”

*A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (ROMANS 14: 7 - 9)*

Brethren: None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

*The Word of the Lord.*

*GOSPEL ACCLAMATION*
John 13: 34

*Alleluia.*
A new commandment I give to you, says the Lord, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
*Alleluia.*

*GOSPEL*
“I do not say to you that you forgive seven times but seventy times seven.”

*A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (MATTHEW 18: 21 - 35)*

At that time: Peter came up and said to Jesus, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. “Therefore the kingdom of heaven maybe compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents; and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. “But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, ‘Pay what you owe. ’ So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you. ’He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt. “When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. Then his lord summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me; and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you? ’ And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt. So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

*The Gospel of the Lord.*

INkosi yethu ethethelelayo

Singeyidumise namuhla iNkosi yesihawu nothando, ngaphandle kokuba yilowo nalowo kithi esemthethelele umfowabo ngenhliziyo yonke.

Isingeniso
Cf. Ben Sira 36:18

Nkosi, baphe labo abakuthembayo uxolo nabaprofethe bakho mabafunyaniswe beqinisile. Lalela imikhuleko yezikhonzi zakho neyabantu bakho bakwalsrael.

Sicela ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristo iNdodana yakho ephila ibusa kanye nawe noMoya Ocwebileyo ninguNkulunkulu munye izikhathi ngezikhathi.

Isifundo sokuqala
Ben Sira 27:33 - - 28:9

Mthethelele umuntu okonile, khona nawe uzothethelelwa uma ucela.

Ulaka nokuthukuthela kuyenyanyeka, yisoni esibambelela kukho. Uma umuntu ephindisa, naye uNkulunkulu uyophindisa kuye; uyombambela impela izono zakhe. Mthethelele umuntu okonile, khona nawe uzothetheleIwa uma ucela. Uma umuntu ebambela omunye amagqubu, angalucela kanjani uxolo eNkosini na? Yena akanasihawu kumfowabo, kanti yena ubheké ukuxoleIwa izono zakhe? Umuntu othi engelutho nje nokho angaluyeki ulaka, pho angahlawula kanjani izono zakhe na? Khumbulake isigcino sakho ukhiphe inzondo, cabanga ngokufa nethuna, uthembeke emthethweni. Zindla ngemiyalo yeNkosi, ungambambeli umakhelwane amagqubu; khumbula umthetho woPhezukonke uthethelele.

izwi leNkosi.

Isihlabelelo sokuphendula
Hl. 102

Isiphendulo: INkosi inesihawu nomusa,iyanyamezela, imnene kakhulu

Mphefumulo wami, yibonge iNkosi,
nakho konke okukimi makubonge igama layo elingcwele.Mphefumulo wami yibonge iNkosi,ungakhohlwa umusa wayo omkhulu ekwenzelé wona.

(INkosi...)

(INkosi...)

Ayibambi amagqubu njalo-njalo, ayinalo ulaka kuze kube phakade. Ayisiphathi njengoba kusifanele ngenxa yezono zethu, ayiphindiseli ngokwamacala ethu.

(INkosi...)

Lokhu nakhu njengoba izulu limbozé umhlaba, kanjalo isihawu sayo sengamé abayesabayo. Njengoba impumalanga ikude nentshonalanga kanjalo idedisela kude iziphosiso zethu.

(INkosi...)

Isifundo sesibili
Rom. 14:7-9

Noma siphila noma sifa singabeNkosi.

Bazalwane, kithi akakho oziphilelayo, akakho ozifelayo. Noma siphila, siphilela iNkosi; noma sifa sifela iNkosi. Ngakho-ke noma siphila noma sifa singabeNkosi. UKristo phela wafa, wavuka ukuba abe iNkosi yabafileyo nabaphilayo.

izwi leNkosi.

Alleluya
Jn. 13:34

Alleluya, alleluya. Ngininika umthetho omusha, kusho iNkosi; wokuba nithandane, njengoba nginithandile. Alleluya.

IVangeli
Mt. 18:21-35

Angisho kuwe ukuthi uthethelele kuze kube kasikhombisa, kanti kuze kube ngamashumi ayisikhombisa ephindwa kasikhombisa.

Kuleyonkathi kweza kuJesu uPetrus wathi: "Nkosi koze kube kangaki ngimthethelela umfowethu engona na? Koze kube kasikhombisa na?" UJesu wathi kuye: "Angisho kuwe ukuthi kuze kube kasikhombisa, kanti kuze kube kamashumi ayisikhombisa ephindwa kasikhombisa."

Lokhu phela umbuso wezulu ufana nomuntu oyinkosi, owathanda ukulandisa izinceku zakhe. Wathi ukuqala ukuzilandisa, kwalethwa kuye enye eyayinesikweletu kuye samathalente ayizinkulungwane ezilishumi. Kwathi ingenakho engakhokha ngakho, yathi inkosi yayo, akuthengiswe ngayo nangomkayo nangabantwana bayo nangakho konke enakho, kukhokhwe ngakho. Leyonceku yabisiziwisa phansi phambi kwayo, yayincenga yathi: 'Ake ungimelele, ngokukhokhela konke.' Lapho- ke inkosi yayihawukela leyonceku, yayidedela yayiyekela lesosikweletu. Yathi ukuba iphume leyonceku yahlangana nenye yezinceku ezikanye nayo, eyayinesikweletu kuyo sawodenare abalikhulu. Yayibamba, yayiklinya, yathi: 'Khokha isikweletu sakho.' Yabisiziwisa phansi leyonceku yayincenga yathi: 'Ngimelele, ngiyokukhokhela konke.' Yona-ke yala, yasuka yahamba, yayifaka etilongweni, ize ikhokhe isikweletu. Ezinye izinceku ezikanye nayo zathi ukubona okwenzekayo, zadabuka kakhulu, zayobikela inkosi yazo konke okwenzekileyo. Yasiyibiza inkosi yayo yathi kuyo: 'Wena nceku eyonakeleyo, ngikuyekele sonke isikweletu, ngoba ungincengile. Ngakho-ke bekungafanele yini ukuba nawe uhawukele inceku okanye nayo, njengoba nami ngikuhawukele na?' Yathukuthela inkosi yayo, yayinikela kubahluphi, ize ikhokhe isikweletu sonke. NoBaba osezulwini uyakwenza njalo kuyilowo nalowo phakathi kwenu, ongathetheleli umfowabo ngenhliziyo."

*SEPTEMBER 6TH 2026.*

*TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR A*

*FIRST READING*
“If you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, his blood I will require at your hand."

*A reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (EZEKIEL 33: 7 - 9)*

Thus says the Lord: “You, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.”

*The Word of the Lord.*

*RESPONSORIAL PSALM*
Taken from Psalm 95: 1 - 2, 6 - 7abc, 7d - 9 (R.) 7d, 8a

And the response is;
*R/. O that today you would listen to his voice! Harden not your hearts.*

Come, let us ring out our joy to the Lord;
hail the rock who saves us.
Let us come into his presence, giving thanks;
let us hail him with a song of praise. *R/.*

O come; let us bow and bend low.
Let us kneel before the God who made us,
for he is our God and we
the people who belong to his pasture,
the flock that is led by his hand. *R/.*

O that today you would listen to his voice!
“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the desert _
when your forebears put me to the test;
When they tried me, though they saw my work.” *R/.*

*SECOND READING*
“Love is the fulfilling of the law.”

*A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans (ROMANS 13: 8 - 10)*

Brethren: Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

*The Word of the Lord.*

*GOSPEL ACCLAMATION*
2 Corinthians 5: 19

*Alleluia. Alleluia.*
God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
*Alleluia.*

*GOSPEL*
“If he listens to you, you have gained your brother."

*A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew (MATTHEW 18: 15 - 20)*

At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the Church; and if he refuses to listen even to the Church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by the father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Ezek. 33:7-9

Uma ungaxwayisanga isoni, ukufa kwa*o kuphezu kwakho. Isho njalo iNkosi ithi: "Wena mntanomuntu, ngikumisé waba umbheki ukuze ubheke abakwalsrael. Uma uzwa izwi elivela kimi, umelwe ukubaxwayisa egameni lami. Nxa ngithi ngesoni: 'Wena soni uyokufa', kuthi wena uthule nje, ungasixwayisi isoni ekuhambeni kwa*o, isoni leso siyakufa kambe ngenxa yobubi ba*o, kodwa ukufa kwa*o kuphezu kwakho uqobo. Kepha uma usixwayisile isoni, usitshenile ukuthi siyeke ukona kwa*o, kanti nokho sona singaphenduki endleleni embi, sona sizokufa kambe ngenxa yamacala a*o, kodwa wena uzikhululile."

Ukugcwaliseka komthetho luthando. Bazalwane, maningabi nasikweletu salutho kumuntu, kuphela esokuba nithandane; ngoba othanda umakheIwane uwugcinile umthetho. Ngoba ukuthi: "Ungaphingi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi ngamanga, ungafisi," namuphi omunye umthetho, kuhlangene kulelizwi lokuthi: "Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengoba uzithanda."
