Today in the Gospel, Jesus shatters our human calculations of justice by telling us to forgive ‘seventy-seven times.’ Our first reading reminds us that nursing anger only imprisons our own hearts. Forgiveness is rarely easy but is a personal step towards healing. Let us pray for the grace to let go of grudges and old sins, remember the immense mercy God shows us all daily, and offer that same healing grace to others.

This week there has been some media coverage of the ‘September Reset’, a phrase describing how some people see the beginning of the new academic year as an opportunity to make resolutions and re-establish good routines. For Christians, Lent is traditionally a time for this kind of renewal, but we do not have to wait until spring to begin again if we have let some good practices slip over the summer. Perhaps this week you could ask yourself: What have I stopped doing that once helped me follow the Lord more closely? And what might the Holy Spirit be calling me to do to deepen my relationship with God? A new season can be an invitation to begin again.

Thank you to everyone praying for me and the 100 pilgrims I accompanied to Spain. It was a precious opportunity to step away from daily life and allow the Lord to speak to our hearts. With the summer holidays finished, we now return to normality. This Tuesday, the Church celebrates the birthday of Mary, the Mother of Christ and our Mother. What gift can we offer the Queen of Heaven and Earth? Perhaps, like any mother, she desires above all that we simply be with her. I encourage you to honour this feast in her presence, allowing Mary to draw you closer to her Son.
