Tuesday of the the Third Week of Lent
Gospel Reading: Mt. 18:21-35
"Peter approached Jesus and asked him, 'Lord,
if my brother sins against me, how often must I
forgive him? As many as seven times?' Jesus
answered, 'I say to you, not seven times but
seventy-seven times.' "(Mt 18:21-22)
In reparation for past sins, pray the Act of Contrition today,
focusing special attention on the meaning of the words.
