Reconciliation is the healing of broken or wounded relationships, in honest recognition of past hurts.

As we look around us today, we can be in little doubt about how many ruptured or damaged relationships cry out for healing. Political landscapes, families and communities experience divisions, with children and other vulnerable people among the main casualties of conflict.

Into this, in many places throughout the world, the Church is speaking and living the radical alternative of reconciliation. We live in a world in desperate need of reconciliation, but also one in which God is at work to bring reconciliation.

Here, we offer a brief wisdom of reconciliation that is deeply Christian in order to inspire the healing of relationships with God, with our neighbours, with our enemies, with ourselves, and with the whole of creation.
