Parish Notices for Week of 17 September 2023
Notices: Proper 24, 17 September 2023
Good day dear friends,
In the Gospel for this week Jesus says that we are to forgive our brother or sister not seven times, but seventy times seven. Forgiveness is the key to freedom from all past hurts. Forgiveness is a spiritual practice, a spiritual stance – grounded in Divine Love – that allows us to be fully and lovingly present in our Now.
Love
Father Gerald+
