Do not judge
Do not judge others, and God will not judge you, do not condemn others
and God will not condemn you, forgive others and God will forgive
you. Give to others and God will give to you. Indeed you will receive
a full measure, a generous helping, pouring into your hands, all
that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that
God will use for you.
Luke 6:37-38
Merciful Father,
save me from hypocrisy.
May I spring to remove
the log from my own eye
before I pronounce upon
the speck in another's.
Amen
Dear Lord, teach us not
to judge others.
We do not know what pain or load they carry,
for we cannot see into their hearts.
When we argue or disagree, help us to be calm to listen,
really listen to the other person's point of view.
Lord teach us to be careful with each other's feelings
and not to hurt or score points,
but be fair and honest, remembering each has an opinion
and sometimes we see things differently.
When the raised voices are silent and the tears wiped away,
help us admit our mistakes and say, "I'm sorry",
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Joan Blake
Make me a channel of your peace:
Where there is hatred let me bring your love,
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
And where there's doubt, true faith in you:
O Master, grant that I may never seek,
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved, as to love with all my soul!
