If your brother sins against you. What to do?

Fraternal correction is one of the highest expressions of love, and also one of the most demanding, because it is not easy to correct others. We have conflicts everywhere in our communities. To resorbe them as Christians, Jesus advise three different steps. We should do it in private. Approach the person in one to one because correction is not about humiliation but healing. Jesus advises us to go privately and gently.

If the first attempt does not work, we need to adjoint another person in showing our communautarian concern. The public approach, which consists of involving the Church community, which now is called to deepen the compassionate love of God. No matter the outcome, we should involve the dimension of prayer; personal prayer, and communautarian prayer. Let's choose the path of reconciliation and peace as Christ's disciples.
