Quit Counting: Forgiveness and Letting Go of Anger (Matthew 18) - Fr. PJ McManus - 09/11/2026

Author: Iowa Catholic Radio September 11, 2026 Duration: 7:49
Fr. PJ McManus returns to the Catholic Morning Show with a Sunday Gospel reflection on Matthew 18:21–35, where Jesus tells Peter to forgive not seven times but seventy-seven times. Drawing on Sirach and Saint John Cassian, Fr. PJ explains why forgiveness is a daily choice of the will rather than a one-time act, and how clinging to anger blinds us to the truth. He shares a deeply personal story of encountering someone who had badly hurt him and invites listeners to let go of the anger they're still holding.
