Go first and be reconciled with your brother

“Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (MT 5: 23-24)

It is so good when our “spiritual” lives are not separated from our “daily” lives. It is good when we are the same: in front of Him, respecting Our Lord and respecting our brothers. Reconciliation is about our integrity, being reconciled with Him and with our brothers. 

“Cast away from you all the crimes you have committed, says the LORD, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit.” (Gospel Acclamation)
