Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. (Lk 6:27-38)

Judging, condemning—they’re our favorite pastimes. The Lord knows us oh too well. We’re usually pretty stingy when it comes to mercy and forgiveness. Perhaps that’s why he added: For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
