Reading: Matthew 18:21-35 Peter asks about frequency of forgiveness and Jesus tells a parable of an Unforgiving Servant that speaks of God's forgiveness of us and our subsequent response. We are called to forgive others, but that is no mere feat. It is hard work, but a work we must engage in to refuse sin the last word.
