SUMMARY:Vigils Reading-  24th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:A reading from \nST AUGUSTINE \n◊◊◊ \nThe Lord puts the parable of the unforgiving debtor before us that we may \nlearn from it. He has no desire for us to die\, so he warns us: This is how your \nheavenly Father will deal with you if you\, any of you\, fail to forgive your \nbrother or sister from your heart. \nTake notice now\, for clearly this is no idle warning. The fulfillment of this \ncommand calls for the most vigorous obedience. We are all in debt to God\, just \nas other people are in debt to us. Is there anyone who is not God’s debtor? Only \na person in whom no sin can be found. And is there anyone who has no brother \nor sister in his debt? Only if there be someone who has never suffered any \nwrong. Do you think anyone can be found in the entire human race who has not \nin turn wronged another in some way\, incurring a debt to that person? No\, all \nare debtors\, and have others in debt to them. Accordingly\, God who is just has \ntold you how to treat your debtor\, because he means to treat his in the same \nway. \nThere are two works of mercy which will set us free. They are briefly set \ndown in the gospel in the Lord’s own words: Forgive and you will be forgiven\, \nand Give and you will receive. The former concerns pardon\, the latter \ngenerosity. As regards pardon he says: “Just as you want to be forgiven\, so \nsomeone is in need of your forgiveness.” Again\, as regards generosity\, consider \nwhen a beggar asks you for something that you are a beggar too in relation to \nGod. When we pray we are all beggars before God. We are standing at the door \nof a great householder\, or rather\, lying prostrate\, and begging with tears. We \nare longing to receive a gift – the gift of God himself. \nWhat does a beggar ask of you? Bread. And you\, what do you ask of God\, \nif not Christ who said: I am the living bread that has come down from heaven? \nDo you want to be pardoned? Then pardon others. Forgive and you will be \nforgiven. Do you want to receive? Give and you will receive. \nIf we think of our sins\, reckoning up those we have committed by sight\, \nhearing\, thought\, and countless disorderly emotions\, I do not know whether we \ncan even sleep without falling into debt. And so\, every day we pray; every day we \nbeat upon God’s ears with our pleas; every day we prostrate ourselves before \nhim saying: Forgive us our trespasses\, as we also forgive those who trespass \nagainst us. Which of our trespasses\, all of them or only some? All\, you will \nanswer. Do likewise\, therefore\, with those who have offended you. This is the \nrule you have laid down for yourself\, the condition you have stipulated. When \nyou pray according to this pact and covenant you remember to say: Forgive us\, \nas we also forgive our debtors.
