 Gospel Lk 17:1-6

Are you presenting good values to your family?..click here

Jesus said to his disciples,

"Things that cause sin will inevitably occur,

but woe to the one through whom they occur.

It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck

and he be thrown into the sea

than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.

Be on your guard!

If your brother sins, rebuke him;

and if he repents, forgive him.

And if he wrongs you seven times in one day

and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,'

you should forgive him."

And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,

you would say to this mulberry tree,

'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."

Reflections:

Through the Gospel, Jesus encourages us to avoid causing others to stumble, to be quick to forgive, and to recognize the extraordinary power of even a small amount of genuine faith. These are not only relevant to the disciples of Jesus but also it offers us valuable guidance for our day today life. They remind us of the importance of love, forgiveness, and the transformative power of faith in our journey of following Christ. The teachings of Jesus about the importance of the need for forgiveness is the greatest need of today. extending forgiveness and showing a compassionate heart will bring to end the wars and ravages.
