Questions people
ask (Fr
o’Flynn-Intercom)
Q. ‘Those whose sins you forgive they are forgiven’. I
can understand that. But what is meant by ‘whose sins you retain they are
retained’?
A. The mission of Jesus which he passed on to the disciples with the bestowing of the Holy Spirit was twofold. They were to celebrate God’s forgiveness of the sinner who truly repented. But they were also to pronounce God’s judgment on the sinner who had not repented. In other words, tell people that they are retained in their sinful state, that is, living in sin, until such time as they repent. Calling sin a sin is a job the Church must continue to do even when it is not fashionable or popular.

Recognize The Flaws . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . .(Source Unknown)
There were troubles in the land – manners,
morals, courtesy and respect were forgotten. The king sought advice from the
wise, holy man who lived in the forest on what he could do to restore the
kingdom. This is the wisdom the holy man told the king:
"A
man cannot be redeemed until he recognizes the flaws in his soul and tries to
mend them." He continued, "Also, a nation cannot be redeemed until it
recognizes the flaws in its soul and tries to mend them. Whoever permits no
recognition of his flaws, be it man, woman, or nation, permits no redemption.
We can be redeemed to the extent to which we recognize ourselves."
