"love one another as yourself", love does no evil against another; love is the fulfillment of the law. this is seen in how we correct one another as in the Gospel today: if you are wronged, go to the person in private. how often do we not do this? it is easier to talk to others about how the person wronged/hurt us. we may go to everyone BUT the person him/herself.
that is not how we would want the other to treat us.
but it is not easy to confront others with charity. it is awkward at best. few of us do this well. but this is the ideal of the christian way and we must attend to these types of situations because we are our brother and sister's keeper. if they are going astray, we must help them see how the consequences harm our relationship
the Holy Spirit will continue to lead and guide us toward this healing way
