Lenten Weekday

Total Consecration – Day 14

First Reading

Daniel 3:25, 34-43

25Then Azariʹah stood and offered this prayer; in the midst of the fire he opened his mouth and said:

34For thy name’s sake do not give us up utterly, and do not break thy covenant,

35and do not withdraw thy mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham thy beloved and for the sake of Isaac thy servant and Israel thy holy one,

36to whom thou didst promise to make their descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the sand on the shore of the sea.

37For we, O Lord, have become fewer than any nation, and are brought low this day in all the world because of our sins.

38And at this time there is no prince, or prophet, or leader, no burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, no place to make an offering before thee or to find mercy.

39Yet with a contrite heart and a humble spirit may we be accepted, as though it were with burnt offerings of rams and bulls, and with tens of thousands of fat lambs;

40such may our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and may we wholly follow thee, for there will be no shame for those who trust in thee.

41And now with all our heart we follow thee, we fear thee and seek thy face.

42Do not put us to shame, but deal with us in thy forbearance and in thy abundant mercy.

43Deliver us in accordance with thy marvelous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord! Let all who do harm to thy servants be put to shame;

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 25:4-9

4Make me to know thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long.

6Be mindful of thy mercy, O LORD, and of thy steadfast love, for they have been from of old.

7Remember not the sins of my youth, or my trangressions; according to thy steadfast love remember me, for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD!

8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

9He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.

Gospel

Matthew 18:21-35

21Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”

22Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

23“Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.

24When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents;

25and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’

27And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.

28But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, ‘Pay what you owe.’

29So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’

30He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt.

31When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place.

32Then his lord summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me;

33and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’

34And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt.

35So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
