In our day to day lives there are many opportunities for conflict. Jesus did not promise us the absence of conflict. Instead, he gave us the gifts of peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation so that we could reduce conflict. One of the measures of Christian life is not the absence of conflict, but the manner in which conflict is resolved. Filled with the gift of the Holy Spirit, we ask Jesus to help us to bring peace and forgiveness to situations of conflict we face.
Adults: What situation in your life requires reconciliation to bring you peace?
Children: Is there something you need to ask forgiveness for?
