"The Gospel for Mass on Tuesday (of the
third week of Lent) featured the parable of the servant who owed a large
sum to the king that he could not repay. The generous and kind king
forgave him the entire debt. Strangely, the man then proceeded to treat a
fellow servant who owed him a small amount with severity. When the king
learned of the servant's behavior, he grew angry and sentenced him to
the very punishment he had meted out to his debtor.
"For our mid-Lent purposes, let's consider the heart of the parable, for it is aimed at our hearts!"
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on the relationship between gratitude and other virtues.
