Jesus said to his disciples: "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell the Church. If he refuses to listen even to the Church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." -Matthew 18:15-20
When we, the Church, gather together in the Holy Mass, Jesus is in our midst. The rest of the world falls away when we understand that Our Lord is there with us. When we live in the presence of Our Lord, nothing else matters; nothing else captures our attention because His brilliance is all we see.
The Father’s loving answer to every prayer of the Church is to send His beloved Son to dwell with us.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us.
