When conflict happens, what does Jesus want us to do? Disagreements are part of every relationship. But Jesus shows us a better way — not to win an argument, but to restore the relationship. ❤️ In this week’s Gospel, Jesus gives us a Christian approach to restoring broken relationships. Join Fr Colin Tan, SJ as he shares the 3 steps of Christian conflict resolution: 1️⃣ Reconciliation – Have the courage and humility to speak privately and honestly. 2️⃣ Resolution – Face the problem, listen to one another, and seek understanding with love and forgiveness. 3️⃣ Restoration – Move beyond winning an argument towards healing and rebuilding the relationship. 🎥 Watch the reflection 🙏🏼😃 Watch, reflect and share with your family and friends!
