This week's gospel is about FORGIVENESS. Jesus was asked by his disciples, "How often should I forgive?" He replies, "SEVEN times SEVENTY-SEVEN TIMES."--This means we never seize to forgive. Its interesting how this week's gospel about FORGIVENESS falls on the 10th Anniversary of 9-11. Sure we can be ANGRY about INJUSTICE. But that anger needs to lead to bringing the other out of UNJUST ways to JUST ways. The point is, there are 2 types of ANGER: 1) Anger caused by INJUSTICE and 2) Anger caused by our EGOS. During this anniversary of America's dark day of 9-11, we need to use our anger to bring others to the path of RIGHTEOUSNESS. This can be with our friends, family, or any circle of people we can INFLUENCE. Jesus tells us in the gospel to KEEP FORGIVING in hopes of bringing others to the RIGHT PATH.
