Joseph and His Brothers
- Fr. Mike Schmitz tells the story of Joseph and his brothers from Genesis 37.
- Joseph's brothers' jealousy and resentment toward him, stemming from their father's favoritism, escalated to the point of wanting to kill him.
The Root of Resentment
- Resentment arises when we believe someone else possesses something that rightfully belongs to us.
- Jealousy, unchecked, can escalate into envy and resentment, which can have dangerous consequences.
Combating Resentment
- Address jealousy and resentment by acknowledging the truth and turning to God.
- Recognize that others' lives and love are gifts to be received with gratitude, not entitlements to be demanded.
