"Solve Conflicts with Sanctified Common Sense" — 5th Sun. of Easter, 5/3/26

Do you sometimes find it easy to play the blame game when things go wrong? In today's first reading, the apostles avoid blaming others when a problem arises and instead come up with a Spirit-filled solution. When we experience a conflict or disagreement, let us take a deep breath of the Holy Spirit and be part of a solution inspired by God's grace.
