As a former Prison Chaplain and having met a few people who have acted on grudges, I hope you don't mind but I thought that I might share my own reflection on today's Gospel reading which I publish daily on Substack.....it seems that the passage spoke to us in a similar way. Again, hope you don't mind me sharing. https://ifthespiritdoesntmoveyou.substack.com/p/if-the-spirit-doesnt-move-you-whats-5ee
Very intriguing interpretation on this reading…I never thought about the fundamental vice behind ‘holding a grudge’, only the emotion causing it. Thank you for expanding my thinking, and reminding me to watch out for the vice and not to stumble into the emotion.

Thanks for sharing. A great example of the destruction caused through rage and a grudge.
Really needed to read this. Thank you.
