“Go first to be reconciled to your brother.” (Mt. 5:24)

It would be worth noting that in “The Sermon on the Mount,” a profile of the Christian in the Gospel of Matthew, the first commandment is V: Thou shalt not kill. And, among the counsels that Jesus gives, which go beyond the Law, there is this one of reconciliation. It is not: if you have something against your brother, it is: if your brother has something against you, ask for forgiveness. Stop your anger, do not come angry before the altar, do not make offerings without having made peace. Jesus warns that this is his position, his advice. We have been at war for many years, we hear that others are forgiven, and we get angry. We have no initiative to build a country in peace, we are becoming more and more polarized. Is it possible for us to be among those who are building underground, like lichens and fungi, a possible vegetation, where justice and peace can grow?
