June 11. SEE.     Patrick said to his mom,  “Hey Mom, you adults always lecture us on how to treat each other as brothers and sisters, but I think we can also lecture you at times.  I want to ask you, why don’t you go and make peace with your sister?   I’ve watched you sometimes and I know you miss each other. It’s been 5 years that you haven’t spoken to each other. In a way she might as well be dead.” 

JUDGE. Reflect, share. Scripture. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go first be reconciled to you brother. Matt 5:20-26. Pope Francis:   Children do need to be patiently taught to treat one another as brothers and sisters.   This training is at times quite demanding. AL195,   Pope Leo : The dignity inscribed in each of us by the Holy Spirit can also be seen in our capacity to reflect critically, choose and love freely, and form authentic relationships. No computational system, however sophisticated, can create a heart that gives itself, or a conscience that discerns good from evil. Even when machines excel in efficiency, a human face that asks to be gazed upon remains the center of our history.  MH 233.   

ACT AND PRAY.   For healing and reconciliation in families that are hurting due to a broken relationship
