September 17, 2023: 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

God is calling us to forgiveness as a way of life, as we acknowledge how God has forgiven us.

Through His forgiveness, He has freed us from sin and brought us to newness of Life.

As we build the Kingdom, we experience the full effects of this forgiveness when we share it with others.  While it's not readily human for us to forgive those who wrong us, even those close to us, when we do so, it is a sign of God at work in our hearts.

On this day when we commemorate the signing of the US Constitution, we are reminded of the ultimate Law of God that directs our lives, and calls us to love as God does.

In such conduct, we truly show ourselves to belong to God, which is our Eternal Life and our Life now.  That is where we find our purpose.

We celebrate Catechetical Sunday this weekend, and in my personal experience, I have found such tremendous blessing in leading my students to walk in the way of Life to which God calls us all.
