SS Simon & Jude's Church, Bethlehem issued the following announcement on September 13.

Dear Parishioner, 

The Cay Galgon roof pipe repair to correct the drainage problems is set to occur on Friday of this past week. The estimate was $2,512. We will see if they were successful In removing the water and placing new pipes outside the building as the interior pipes are not working. 

Once more Saint Peter provides the context for the Lord to teach his disciples. It was rabbinic teaching that people must forgive each other three times. It was likewise deduced that God forgives people three times and on the fourth infraction God would visit punishment on the peoples. 

Peter thought he was going very far, for he had taken the Rabbinic three times, multiplied it by two and added one for good measures and suggested with selfsatisfaction that it will be enough to forgive seven times. Jesus’ answer was that the Christian must forgive 77 times; that there is no limit to forgiveness. 

Jesus presented the parable that the official who owed a large amount had it written off by his master. The lesson is clear. If God is to forgive us then we must forgive those who have offended us.
