Stop judging.

“Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.” (MT 7: 1-2)

We are again back to our “idealistic visions.” We believe that we see reality; how often this “reality” is just our own perspective, filtered by our own experiences. When we judge, we are making our own interpretation the only one. The more humble we are, the more concerned about seeing everything from a love perspective, the more we are like Our Lord, Who was always forgiving, always supporting, and never blaming.

“The word of God is living and effective, able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” (Gospel Acclamation)
