Forgive Seventy Times Seven: The Power of Divine Mercy

About this sermon

In this powerful homily for the 21st Sunday After Pentecost, we reflect on Christ’s teaching about forgiveness through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:21–35). Peter asks Jesus, “How often shall my brother offend against me and I forgive him? Till seven times?”—and Jesus replies, “Not seven times, but seventy times seven.” This profound message reminds us that forgiveness is not optional for a follower of Christ—it is essential. Through vivid storytelling, we learn that: God’s mercy is infinite, but His justice is real. We have been forgiven a debt beyond measure, and so we must forgive others. True forgiveness requires strength, humility, and courage—a reflection of the Heart of Christ Himself. 🙏 May this message move you to seek God’s mercy and to forgive from your heart, as Our Lord commands. 🕰️ Timestamps 0:00 Opening Prayer 0:35 “If you forgive not everyone his brother from your hearts…” 0:50 Introduction to the 21st Sunday After Pentecost Gospel 1:00 Peter asks Jesus about forgiveness 1:18 Jesus’ response: “Seventy times seven” 2:10 Forgiveness in the Old Law vs. the New Law 3:00 The call to forgive as Christ forgives 4:35 Strength and manliness in true forgiveness 5:22 Jesus reads Peter’s heart and gives a parable 6:13 The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant 7:40 The debtor’s cruelty toward his fellow servant 8:51 The lesson of mercy and justice 9:40 Our infinite debt to God vs. small offenses from others 10:59 Bearing fruit through mercy 11:30 A warning about divine justice 11:50 Closing prayer for a meek and forgiving heart 12:33 Final blessing – In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #CatholicHomily #Forgiveness #DivineMercy #GospelReflection #CatholicFaith #JesusChrist #TraditionalCatholic #SundayHomily #21stSundayAfterPentecost #ForgiveSeventyTimesSeven #ParableOfTheUnforgivingServant #FaithAndMercy #CatholicSermon #ChristianForgiveness #LatinMass #CatholicPreaching #MercyAndJustice #JesusTeachesForgiveness #HomilyOnForgiveness 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
