First Reading
Ezekiel 33:7-9

1. Does God still send watchmen or women or prophets to address injustice in the world today? Who are they? Are they always successful and do they live long, happy lives?

2. Do we have a shared responsibility for others and the world? Are you a “watchperson” in some way? What strikes you as unjust as you watch? Can you think of new ways of bringing justice and divine love into the lives of those people you love? Into your workplace? Into other places in your life?

Second Reading
Romans 13:8-10

1. What commandment sums up all the rest? What is it that fulfulls the whole law?

2. Which ranks highest: how much you love? how much you do? how smart or powerful you are? According to Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritain (Luke 10: 29-37), who is your neighbor?

Gospel
Matthew 18:15-20

1. Can you rely on God to grant your request in some way when you and another person agree to pray about something? Do you trust that promise?

2. Do you always remember that “if two or three of you agree on earth about anything for which they (you) are to pray, it shall be granted to them (you)”? Pope Francis sent out the following message in March to a virtual audience following on Vatican News Media.

In these days of trial, as humanity trembles at the threat of the [coronavirus] pandemic, I would propose that all Christians join their voices together to heaven.
