Whoever judges people have no time to love them

My brothers, I want to reflect on the duty not to judge anyone. I was surprised by God to see a person praying and I judged that that person didn’t know God, and it was then that the Lord surprised me. He told me: ‘ you must not judge, because only I know the heart ‘.
So, my brothers, do not lose time judging. Mother Theresa of Calcutta said: “When you judge people you have no time to love them”, that is, before you judge, pray. Before you condemn, love, because God only knows the depths and intentions of our heart.
If we ask God’s mercy to us, because we understand our struggles, so too should we act toward our neighbor.
Let us keep this word of God in our heart: judge not and you shall not be judged.
Your brother,
