In today Sunday's reading (Mt 18:21-35), Christ Jesus illustrates to us the importance of forgiving our brother and showing mercy. Mercy is the characteristic of God, for God is love. And the divine mercy leads to the forgiveness of sins. Through the forgiveness of our sins and the sacrament of reconciliation, we are restored in divine friendship. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

Today's society attempts everything in its power to erase the meaning of sin. Sin just seems like another way of behaving. In this context, the necessary Christian correction of our brothers when they fall looks like an extravagance. Christianity seems like just another perspective, and sacraments are perceived as an extremely radical solution. In this Sunday’s Gospel (St. Matthew 18:15-20), we learn about our obligation to encourage erring brothers to give up their sinful ways. We must offer advice and encouragement when it is needed, and correction in private where that is possible. And as active members of Christ's mystical body, we correct with kindness and charity those who fall into sin. Christ Jesus wants us to fulfill this obligation as part of our apostolic mission on earth. We are obliged to help our fellowmen on the road to heaven by giving them a good example of a truly Christian way of living. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

Jesus Christ respects our independence and free will but also wants to dwell in us and become the Lord of our lives, encouraging us to be perfect. In last Thursday's reading (Luke 5:1 – 11), Jesus climbed into Peter's boat without asking permission. It was an invasion of grace. As Bishop Barron wrote, "When Jesus moves into the house of the soul, the powers of the soul are heightened and properly directed." "This commandeering of nature by grace does not involve the compromising of nature but rather its perfection and elevation." Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

• September 8, 2023, Today’s Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET • The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, conceived and born immaculate and full of grace. Through her, all grace is given to men. Our Lady was born to be the mother of the Savior of the world, the spiritual mother of all men, and the holiest of God's creatures. In Mary, Queen of Heaven and of Earth, all human nature is exalted. Her nativity is one of the three birthdays in the Church Calendar: the Birth of Jesus (December 25), the Birth of John the Baptist (June 24), and the Birthday of Mary. All three were born without original sin, although Mary and Jesus were conceived without sin, and St. John was cleansed of original sin while in the womb at the Visitation of Mary. The Blessed Virgin is "Cause of our joy", as it states one of the most beautiful titles in her litany. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

What can we do when we see evil deeds or sins among our friends or family members? We never approve sin, but we must continue to regard sinners as our brothers and do all in our power to guide them back onto the right path to heaven. We can achieve this through a good example and fervent prayer for their conversion. This may not be easy for human nature, but we can be certain that God will grant us the necessary grace and strength to overcome our natural weaknesses and aversions if we strive to act with charity and genuine brotherly concern for our erring fellowmen. By acting in this way, we will not only be assisting a weak brother on the challenging journey to heaven, but we will also be ensuring our own arrival there, for God's generosity knows no bounds. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
