If You Hold a Grudge Against Someone, You Should Listen to this Sermon

About this sermon

In this powerful homily, we are reminded of the mercy of God and our calling to forgive as we have been forgiven. So often, we use two measures—one generous for ourselves and one strict for others. Yet Christ calls us to mirror His mercy, letting go of grudges and embracing forgiveness from the heart. Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, we see the danger of hypocrisy and the beauty of true compassion. Forgiveness is not about fairness—it’s about mercy. As Christ says, “Be merciful, as your Father in heaven is merciful.” 🙏 Key Takeaways: God’s mercy toward us should inspire mercy toward others. Holding grudges imprisons our soul. Forgiveness brings freedom, healing, and peace. “Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Mercy triumphs over judgment. 📖 Scripture Reference: Matthew 18:21–35 🕊️ Theme: Mercy, Forgiveness, Christian Charity, Humility ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost 0:27 – Two measures: one for ourselves and one for others 2:01 – The parable of the unforgiving servant 4:03 – The meaning of the parable: God’s mercy and our response 5:21 – Our struggle to forgive 6:00 – “Be merciful as your Father in heaven is merciful” 7:16 – The Our Father: forgiveness and mercy 8:59 – Examining our hearts for unforgiveness 9:40 – Forgiving family and those closest to us 10:21 – Signs of true forgiveness 11:13 – Taking the first step toward reconciliation 11:54 – Letting go of grudges and finding freedom 12:19 – Living mercy every day 13:03 – Forgive always: seventy times seven 13:15 – Closing prayer and blessing For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #CatholicHomily #Forgiveness #Mercy #ChristianFaith #GospelReflection #CatholicChurch #Homily #ChristianLife #CatholicTeaching #JesusChrist #Parable #UnforgivingServant #GodsMercy #Faith #CatholicSermon #SundayHomily #LoveAndForgiveness #GospelMessage #MercyAndGrace #ForgiveAndBeForgiven 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
