In this reflection on the 21st Sunday After Pentecost from the Traditional Latin Mass, we explore the profound connection between spiritual warfare and the call to forgive. Drawing from Saint Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we examine what it means to put on the armor of God in our daily battles against spiritual forces of wickedness. The Gospel parable of the unforgiving servant confronts us with a challenging truth: we who have been forgiven an impossible debt by God must extend that same mercy to others. Through insights from Saints Augustine, John Chrysostom, Ambrose, and John Vianney, along with the example of Job's steadfast faith through suffering, this reflection calls us to recognize both the reality of our spiritual battle and the necessity of forgiving from the heart. Perfect for families seeking to deepen their understanding of mercy, forgiveness, and spiritual warfare in the Christian life.
