It soon became evident in the life of the early church that it was not a perfect society. Individuals sinned and communities splintered. A dispute-resolution process needed to be developed. This is what Matthew

offers in today’s reading. A sinner is to be approached first by the individual, then by two or three others, then by the community. If all this fails, he is to be treated like a ‘pagan or a tax-collector’ - an ironic un-Christian use of these terms, given that Jesus’ teaching and practice made such people insiders not outsiders! Matthew adds two further statements. The first one extends to the community the power to bind and loose that had been given to Peter earlier in the gospel. The second combines two fundamental assertions—that when two or three agree on what to pray for, their prayer will be answered, and that Jesus is present whenever “two or three meet in my name”. This last declaration provides a warrant for the Second Vatican Council’s teaching on Christ’s presence in the worshipping assembly. Extract from Break Open the Word.

OUR MISSION PRAYER

We, the St Ignatius community, are called to live the good news. We pray that we become the people that Jesus Christ called us to be. We pray that we know the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit

through knowing Jesus in prayer, scripture and liturgy. We pray that we give hope to others by a practical, personal kindness, affirming each person's dignity, worth and destiny in Christ. May we live out this mission of our Christian vocation in the spirit of St. Ignatius.
