23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, A 2026 - Fraternal Correction

Three of the ‘spiritual works of mercy’ are radical expressions of love:

We are called to counsel the doubtful, helping people remember that Jesus Christ is ‘the Way, the Truth, and the Life’. We must turn to Christ on our pilgrimage through life, coming to the understanding that ‘no one can come to the Father except through him’.

We instruct the ignorant, taking time to learn about our faith so that we are able to talk to others about our beliefs, recognising that there is always something more to discover about the Truth of who we are, where we have come from and where we are going as a Christian People.

We are to admonish the sinner, supporting them as they come to conversion. In a gentle way, we help them find the way to truth and virtue and steer clear of falsehood and error, which lead us away from the Kingdom of God. Always, ‘we hate the sin but love the sinner’. The Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe the Good News.
