June 30, 2025. In life, there are many times when you are offended by others. Forgive them. Never bring up their mistakes. What is past..

 

Dear Jesus,

You teach me:

“Do not judge, lest you be judged.”

But why in the 3 years of preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, you said to the Pharisees:

“At that time, Jesus said: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So also you, outwardly, appear righteous, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the righteous, and you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with you in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ Therefore you testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up your measure therefore your fathers”. Mt 23, 27-32

Beloved,

You are right, I scolded them because I have the duty to guide them to see their mistakes, so they can return to the path of righteousness.

But you, my dear child, do not judge anyone.

Look back at yourself to see how many mistakes and wrongs you have made over the years, from words and actions that have upset relatives, friends, and even strangers you have met in life.

If you look back at your life and see that you are not perfect, then remember what I told the apostles and disciples:

“At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Do not judge, so that you will not be judged. With the judgment you make, you will be judged. With the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, there is a log in your own eye. First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Mt 7:1-5

In life, there are many times when you are offended by others. Forgive them. Never bring up their mistakes. What is past, let it be past. Live today as a new day.

Forget the troubles of yesterday. Direct your mind to good, joyful, optimistic thoughts, and today will be a beautiful day. Make your day, a day of forgiveness, of love, and of peace, the peace that the world cannot give.

"Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly , and leave the rest to God".

Dear Jesus,

Let me know You, and let me know myself. Know You to listen to Your Word, and put it into practice in my daily life. Know me to change my path into Your righteous one, to have Heaven right in my heart, and You always be with me.

Please bless all those who read this meditation in my Blog.

AMEN.
