Mercy Trumps Justice

Looking at the gospel today we can easily see how Jesus directs us to peaceful resolution to our frustrations in life when it comes to dealing with others. 

It's very simple... Stop judging others when we, too, have sinful inclinations and behaviors. 

When dealing with human frailty we need to be able to look deep into our own sin and die to it all. That's what believing is.  That is what faith is and that's why it's not for the weak hearted.

But, the good news is that Jesus is present in everyone we meet.  So, we in a way, are judging that which we can't understand.  We can't know the battles that others are fighting.

So, be kind and love as Jesus has loved us.  Unconditionally loving is what we are called to do.

Be patient in dealing with others and be patient in dealing with our own short comings and sin. 

God bless you and may His Peace be in your hearts.
