Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

The courage to forgive

Reading I: 2 Samuel 12:7–10, 13 (David’s punishment and repentance)
Reading II: Galatians 2:16, 19–21 (Paul’s basic teaching)
Gospel: Luke 7:36—8:3 (the penitent woman)

Key Passage: Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” But those who were at the table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” (Luke 7:48–49)

Adult: Whom does your Christian faith call you to forgive right now? How hard will this be for you?
Child: When is it hard for you to forgive someone who has hurt you? What can help you forgive?
