WHAT'S THE WORD?
NOTES:
Imagine Peter's surprise when he learns how often he must be forgiving. Jesus makes the point in his parable very clear. God will forgive us in just the same way we are called to forgive others. God's forgiveness is limitless.
ENRICH MY SPIRIT
I hold back forgiveness because... But this is not God's way, so I will...
HOLY SPIRIT, HELP ME TO PRAY
Lord Jesus, I am truly sorry for those times when I have been unkind or set a bad example. I trust in your endless mercy, and I ask that you ll me with your grace to be a sign of your mercy in the world.
