The first reading from the book of the prophet daniel speaks of the infidelity and sheer unfaithful of the israelites toward their god. God has been so generous and faithful to them and yet they remained stubborn and disobedient.
And so how do we approch then our god for all this? The psalm is a prayer asking for forgiveness. It is a prayer for his justice and compassion amidsts our sinfulness.
Moreover, the gospel speaks of the measure we receive to whatever measure we give. Therefore, here, we ask for wisdom that we may always put love and compassion in all our actions.
love begets love. Hatred begets hatred.
Judgement begets judgment. Forgiveness begets forgiveness.
