SPEAKING OUT IN LOVE In the final verses of today’s Gospel reading Jesus says that when two or three are gath-ered in his name, “there am I in the midst of them” (Ma hew 18:20). So we understand that fraternal correc on is always undertaken in the presence of Jesus Christ. Likewise, encourag-ing the good in others is not only the right thing for us to do, it is a necessity. The LORD tells the prophet Ezekiel that if he does not speak out to dissuade a person from evil, then he too will be held responsible. We live in a “do your own thing” age where moral objec vity is o en ignored. Clearly when the message we share with others is rooted in love, our mo ves cannot ever be misinterpreted. As Saint Paul writes, “Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION We know for certain that the sacra-ment of penance was a fairly rare event in the life of a Chris an in the early centuries, but that everyone had a duty to admit their sins and ask forgiveness before giving thanks in the Sunday Eucharist and receiving Christ’s Body and Blood at the table. Everyone today is familiar with this same ancient pa ern. We also know about Lent and its journey of renewal, and even those who are returning from summer vaca ons may speak of a fresh perspec ve on life and a resolve to do be er. Saint Augus ne spoke of a third kind of penance, beyond the turning of the catechumens to a different life, beyond the normal everyday fresh starts, to a form that is severe and serious. Certain sins broke faith with the community: the sinners were obliged to give their names to the bishop and were barred from par cipa on in the Eucharist. Augus ne men oned sacrilege, adultery, and murder as the culprits, great wounds for the perpetrator, wounds that were serious, deadly, mortal. Penance was such a frightening pro-spect that many people delayed their bap-

sm for fear that they would sin, a prac ce with which Augus ne was well acquainted. Pastoral need would eventually call the church to reconsider its prac ce.
