Today we hear the Gospel from Saint Matthew Chapter 19:16-24, the story of the Rich Young Man, which is also told in two other Gospels, Mark 10:17-31 and Luke 18:18-30. It is the story of a young rich man who desires to know how he may inherit eternal life.
In today’s Gospel from Matthew 18:23-35, we hear the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, which provides an interesting contrast between the Rabbinic teachings of the Old Testament and the teachings of Our Lord recorded in the New Testament concerning how many times you are to forgive others.
In today’s Gospel from Matthew 17:14-23, we hear the story of the healing of the demon possessed boy, whose father comes to Jesus on bended knees entreating Him to have mercy on this poor boy.
Today we celebrate the Great Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, which is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew 17:1-9. This feastday shows us that Christ is God, and possesses the Divine Glory.
