I know people do not like to confront people that they accuse directly in present day society. Because of the Age of the Internet, our communication with each other in the physical form like the person to person contact has faded. It’s actually changed how we handle situations now.

From what I understand from your reflection today is you are hurt by the action of another coworker, one that you might have call a friend. The situation could have been handled better, as you pointed out with the connection to today’s Gospel. Unfortunately the end result of poor hearing is that you “will not be as close to her” as you were before. A friendship lost.

May I suggest reading Mt 5:44?

Mark

For all of us who have tendencies to avoid confrontation, this is a great lesson to us by Jesus. The more I read Scripture, the more amazed I am at how Jesus knows human nature, and how He doesn’t condemn our tendency to sin or our weaknesses. He informs. He says it plainly. He speaks Truth. It is a beautiful thing when you hear the Truth. As a fairly new revert, things are so muddled in this world, and so confusing, no wonder we mess up so many times! Thank you for being a humble witness to the Truth.

I find that work is the hardest place to practice my faith. Your reflection helped.
