In today’s gospel reading, we reflect on Jesus’ teaching on how to resolve conflicts, particularly with a brother or sister who has wronged us. Jesus has always taught us that He desires unity among us. He prayed this to His father in heaven in the Last Supper. And He asked this not just once but four times, to emphasize unity as essential in a community of believers (John 17:20-23). He knows that conflicts will arise among us and He advises us today that reconciliation should be our goal when disagreements become cumbersome. He wants us to strive for unity because this is essential to fulfil God’s greatest commandment of love.
