Wednesday, 19th Wk: "If your brother sins against you"

... go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.

-- Mt 18:15-20

Conversion is accomplished in daily life by gestures of reconciliation, concern for the poor, the exercise and defense of justice and right, by the admission of faults to one's brethren, fraternal correction, revision of life, examination of conscience, spiritual direction, acceptance of suffering, endurance of persecution for the sake of righteousness. Taking up one's cross each day and following Jesus is the surest way of penance.

-- CCC 1435
