What do you believe according to these words?
I believe that when the called ministers of Christ deal with us by His divine
command, in particular when they exclude openly unrepentant sinners from
the Christian congregation and absolve those who repent of their sins and
want to do better, this is just as valid and certain, even in heaven, as if Christ
our dear Lord dealt with us Himself.
Prayer of the Week…
O Lord, almighty and everlasting God, You have commanded us to pray and
have promised to hear us. Mercifully grant that Your Holy Spirit may direct
and govern our hearts in all things that we may persevere with steadfast
faith in the confession of Your name; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our
Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever. Amen.

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.
