[Grateful2God]

We must be careful not to make unqualified judgments. But we must judge appropriately when commanded to do so.
“Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” (John 7:24).
Of course there is a time for the judgement of people’s actions. Jesus said “By their fruits you shall know them.” When a person is accused of a crime, yes, they should be judged. Fairly. Objectively. By due process.
The Pharisees and Sadducees used the law for political purposes, and Jesus admonished them for it.
This thread began as an anticipation and preparation for Christmas, the celebration of Jesus’ Birth. Can we not all unite on that one point, just for a moment, and rejoice together that Jesus came into the world?

Yup.

Now that is over..

Morning Consecration to Mary

My Queen, My Mother, I offer myself entirely to thee.

And to show my devotion to thee,
I offer thee this day, my eyes,
my ears, my mouth, my heart,
my whole being without reserve.

Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard me as thy property and possession.

Amen.
