Sometimes the Difficult Person Is Us: Sunday's Gospel on Fraternal Correction - Deacon Dan Rouse - 09/04/2026

The Catholic Morning Show

Deacon Dan Rouse of the Archdiocese of Dubuque previews Sunday's Gospel, Matthew 18:15-20, where Jesus lays out a gradual process for restoring a broken relationship. Deacon Dan names the three ways most of us actually handle conflict — fight, flight, or quietly ignoring it — and explains why none of them work and why prayer has to come first. Drawing on Saint Vincent de Paul, a saint who struggled his whole life with harshness and sharp mood swings, he leaves listeners with a harder question than who has wronged them.
