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)

God, Who is love and Who is living as a Trinity, can’t accept our gifts when we are in conflict with our brothers. Reconciliation is always the first step in relationship.

“I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you.” (Gospel Acclamation
