his debt. When this servant left the king’s presence, he met one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred pieces of silver. He
grabbed him by the throat and almost choked him, shouting, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ His fellow servant threw himself at his feet and
begged him, ‘Give me time, and I will pay everything.’ But the other did not agree, and sent him to prison until he had paid all his debt.
Now the servants (...) reported everything to their lord. (...) The lord was now angry. He handed the wicked servant over to be
punished, until he had paid the whole debt.” Jesus added, “So will my heavenly Father do with you, unless you sincerely forgive your brothers and sisters.”
Reflection:
Sharing our blessings to others attract more blessings. The multiplier
effect of heaven is dependent on our openness to bring to others what God brought
to us in generosity. This rule runs counter to the rule of physical laws. If you give,
you deprive yourself with that which is given to others. You have less afterwards. But
in the spiritual laws, it is when you give that you receive. You are rich when you share. This
subversion of the physical laws is meant to teach us that what is essential could not be
seen by our naked eyes.
