Join us this weekend as we celebrate the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

The message for this upcoming weekend is forgiveness.  God forgives us and so must we.  Sometimes forgiveness is easy.  Friends and family can easily brush off each other's small transgressions.  The Book of Proverbs states, "Love covers all offenses." (10:12)

Sometimes forgiveness is difficult.  Some broken people enjoy hurting others.  Sometimes it is out of ego, or fear which makes them inflict thoughtless damage, maybe even out of insecurity.  They may have additions, mental illness or trauma.  Finding ways to forgive in these out of control situations can feel like a hopeless task.  Forgiveness costs God nothing, and he forgives freely, giving the opportunity for divine love.  Christ calls us to the same freedom.  No one can take anything from us that God cannot replace tenfold. 

We can use this understanding to inspire our sense of compassion so to be free to forgive,

no matter the amount of mercy required.
