The remedy is charity. Rash judgement is a spiritual jaundice which makes things appear evil. The cure is to apply love.

Words to live by!

I love St. Francis de Sales...his sermons still speak clearly and well of how to live as a committed Christian.

Portrait of St. Francis de Sales by J. J. Owens (early 20th century)

St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) born in Thorens, Savoy, in France, was Bishop of Geneva; here he fought Calvinism vigorously. With St. Jane de Chantal, he founded the Order of the Visitation. He wrote Introduction to the Devout Life, a classic of spiritual direction. He died in Lyons and was canonized in 1665. In 1877, Pius IX proclaimed him Doctor of the Church. Pius XI declared him patron of journalists and other writers.
