What is the Office of the Keys?

The Office of the Keys is that special authority which Christ has given to His

Church on earth to forgive the sins of repentant sinners, but to withhold

forgiveness from the unrepentant as long as they do not repent.

Where is this written?

This is what St. John the Evangelist writes in chapter twenty: The Lord Jesus

breathed on His disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive

anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not

forgiven.” John 20:22-23

Prayer of the Week…

Almighty God, You show mercy to Your people in all their troubles. Grant

us always to recognize Your goodness, give thanks for Your compassion, and

praise Your holy name; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives

and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
