What can we learn from this passage about how to mend a damaged relationship? Jesus instructs us not to hold a grudge and to settle our differences face to face. If that is not successful, He encourages us to restore the relationship with the help of others who will pray for a solution.

We pray together: We thank God for the responsibility to love our neighbors. St. Jude, inspire me to give the gift of your hope to others as it has been given to me.
