Weekly Reflection

Forgiveness

09-13-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

Why the necessity to forgive our brothers or sisters?

St. James offers this warning: "For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy" (Jas 2:13). This means that Divine and human forgiveness go hand in hand. Everyone must be tireless in forgiving each other, both the petty and the serious; the charity of Christ demands it (CCC #2227).
