Today’s readings talk about reconciliation, not the sacrament so much as the whole concept of
healing our relationships with God and our fellow brothers and sisters. “Reconcile,” means to
cause something to coexist in harmony; to be in agreement, balanced, and in tune with one
another. Do we have any accountants in the congregation? For you, reconciling involves
making one account consistent with another, especially by finding transactions that have
begun but have not yet been completed.
