Quite the opposite! We are simply a human person who can make poor             VIRTUAL-PRECANA
choices and sin and can be forgiven. We can restore and deepen the
relationship that has been affected and find our way home again.
Jesus clearly wants to avoid shame because it has no purpose in
achieving reconciliation and conversion. All broken relationships de-
serve a chance at reconciliation. Every person has room for growth and
a need for conversion. We have to learn to be okay with honesty and
not be afraid to hear and process what someone needs to say, even if
it is difficult for us to hear. Severing a relationship, both personally or
with the church community as a whole, ought to definitely be a last re-
sort and only pursued when all else has failed.                       ©LPi

Gospel Reading

BACKGROUND ON THE GOSPEL READING
Today‘s Gospel reading is taken from a chapter of Matthew‘s Gospel, which is sometimes called the
―discourse on the Church‖ or the ―church order‖ discourse. In this part of Matthew‘s Gospel, Jesus speaks
more directly about matters of Church discipline and order. In today‘s reading we find one of only three in-
stances in which Jesus uses the word church in Matthew‘s Gospel. In Matthew‘s record of Jesus‘ teaching,
we can hear echoes of the kinds of issues faced by the early Christian community.
In the first part of the ―discourse on the Church‖ (Matthew 18:1-14), Matthew addresses the Christian com-
munity‘s concerns about rank. Jesus responds to the disciples‘ question about who is greatest in the king-
dom of heaven. Jesus indicates that those who wish to enter the kingdom of heaven must be like children,
and he cautions those leaders who might lead these ―little ones‖ astray. He also responds with the parable
of the lost sheep, indicating how God will seek out and bring back those ―little ones‖ who have strayed.
In today‘s Gospel reading, Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus addresses a common occurrence in the Christian com-
munity: a dispute between two members of the Church. Jesus outlines a procedure for settling such matters
fairly. The victim should privately address the offender and attempt to resolve the dispute without outside
involvement. If that fails, then the victim should bring two or three witnesses and confront the offender
again. If the dispute is still unresolved, the matter should be brought to the attention of the entire commu-
nity. If the offender refuses to adhere to the reparations prescribed by the community, then Jesus suggests
that the offender may be expelled from the Church.
Jesus does not discourage disagreement within the community of the Church; he acknowledges the reality of
conflict and error and offers his disciples a means for addressing such matters. It is in the conclusion to this
teaching that the message of hope is found: Jesus is present with the community and will guide the commu-
nity in its relations. If decisions are taken in prayer, then the community can be assured of God‘s assistance.
