We must have the faith of little children, in the sense that little children instinctively know they must depend on others, just as we must depend on and trust God.

Do an examination of conscience-Who have I been a bad example to recently?

Go to Confession if necessary.

Jesus would have died for you if you were the only person on earth!  He loves you that much!!

Mt 18:17-20 is another example of how Jesus intended that there be ONE authoritative Church.

We must forgive others principally because God has forgiven us.  (We don’t DESERVE forgiveness, and sometimes the person that offends us doesn’t DESERVE our forgiveness either.  But, we must!)

Homework:  Think of someone that you hold a grudge against, pray for them each day for a week, and forgive them, at least in your own heart.  Let it go!(Depending on circumstances, you may or may not decide to communicate with the person directly— if there has been physical abuse towards you in the past, as an example.)
