Luke 17,1-5

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Luke 17,1-5
Jesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.” And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

Reflection
The Gospel presents the value of faith and forgiveness. Remember to follow Christ with all our heart and always seek the knowledge of God in every situation so that our faith will grow. What is the fruit of forgiveness in your life?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
As stated in the Lasallian Guiding Principles, “…the spirit of faith is a spirit that allows one to search for God’s will in order to carry out His saving plan.” With enough faith, like a mustard seed, we carry out God’s plan in our life. Just like what St. John Baptist De La Salle did, who faced all the challenges with all his strength and allowed God to work for the rest by saying “Lord, the work is Yours.”
