1
I am blessed to have as my brothers in the Franciscan community several friars who are canon lawyers.
2
One aspect of the Church's canon law deals with penalties,
3
which might be incurred or imposed for very serious actions which break the unity of the Church.
4
One of these has been in the news lately, excommunication.
5
While popular opinion might see excommunication as the church condemning someone to hell, that is not the case.
6
The church never rejects any of its members.
7
Rather, it acts as a loving parent might in the face of a child who slams the door and leaves the house.
8
In the face of someone's serious violation of a church law,
9
the church names it through the penalty but then remains open to that person's return always.
10
The Church, in imitation of the father of the prodigal son, waits to embrace the prodigal's return with sincere affection.
11
In today's Gospel, Jesus spells out a process to address the situation where one community member hurts another.
12
Our Lord asks His followers first to keep the problem private with a one-to-one conversation between the one injured
13
and the one who inflicts the injury.
14
Only if that fails is the disciples to involve others as witnesses.
15
A third step after failure is to tell the church, that is, bring the issue before the whole community.
16
If nothing persuades the sinful disciple to listen, quote, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.
17
Scripture scholar Father Ron Witherup writes that this extreme treatment, quote, may at first seem like making them outcasts,
18
but we should remember that Jesus called such outcasts to be members of his inner circle and his wider community.
19
These now public Christian sinners would become the focus of reconciliation, following Jesus' example in reaching out to tax collectors and sinners.
20
And so, in the church today, our Holy Father and our bishops
21
and pastors are called to foster unity with prayer for the return of those who have broken that bond of love.
22
When we act as Jesus has taught, we are ensured of the Father's generosity and the presence of Jesus in our midst as we gather.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
