Bishop Robert Barron's Sunday Sermon

September 13, 2026

Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 09/13/26

The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 18:21-35

Peter approached Jesus and asked Him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me,
how often must I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants.

When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan.

When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him,
‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt.

Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt.

So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives your brother from your heart.”

Greetings,

I hope that you are well and enjoying the fall weather.

As usual, I have attached the parish Sunday Bulletin to the "About" pages. I hope that you will find it of value; perhaps especially the Question Box that addresses the Church's position on the Death Penalty.

A reminder that OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes have begun in the parish for all those who are discerning entering into the Catholic Church, or perhaps for those Catholics who simply wish to learn more about their Catholic faith. Please see the bulletin for details. Invite you to join our journey of faith.

A note as well that, as previously announced, the parish will be offering a Scripture Study class this fall. The details will follow within the coming weeks.

Finally, a reminder that the parish celebrates morning Mass each Tuesday through Friday at 8:30am. The rosary is prayed each Wednesday morning at 8:00am. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is held each Thursday after the morning Mass.

Blessings to you and your family.
