LOVE , don't Judge!
Celebrating Saint Mother Teresa of Kolkata
1 Cor 1: 5-8; Lk 6: 6-11
The Word today speaks to us of the ills in Christian living...at times we consider sins like adultery and fornication serious faults, and rightly so. But we consider habits like gossiping, judging others and criticising as less grave and so go on with it as if they do not matter. That is truly not Christian...Christ would say looking with lust is equally evil as adultery; speaking ill of the other is equally brutal as assaulting the other physically; character assasination is as criminal as killing a person! It is not exactly in what we do that the seriousness of the matter consist, but in what we are aiming to do through out actions or words or disposition.
Mother Teresa understood this perfectly and that is why she always believed and taught: if you are busy judging people, you would have no time to love them. Love, is both the fundamental and the supreme disposition of a true Christian. Love is patient and kind; it endures all things! Let us Love, not judge! Let us be filled with compassion for the suffering and the weak, as did Mother Teresa to be called truly a Christian and ultimately a saint!
