In this week’s Scripture Series, Fr. Stephen reflects on Jesus’ model for handling conflict: go to the person directly, approach the situation with humility, and seek reconciliation. Drawing on the Franciscan tradition and the example of St. Francis of Assisi, he challenges us to ask: Am I seeking to resolve conflict, or am I simply complaining about it? Are we willing to compromise and work toward loving relationships with others?
This week, let’s pray for the grace and strength to seek reconciliation where possible, and when difficult conversations aren’t possible, to bring those situations to the Lord and ask for the grace of reconciliation.
