Today's reading was tough...but doable by the grace of God. Thank you father. Let us pray for each other and the world so that we may be meek and humble at heart just like our Lord.
Amen. What an admirable explanation, Father. Your words are so full of truth that they touch our hearts and invite us. to meditate on them. Be more empathetic and not act as if these words were only for those who lived in the time of our Lord. Thank you Father Ryan Hail Mary
I've always looked at it as that I will not judge a person, but only by their behaviors and actions. I've also come to the conclussion that some people will never change their ways no matter how hard I try to convince them otherwise.
What we can do is surrender those people at the foot of the Cross and ask Jesus to wash them and us too with His Most Precious Blood. We may not see quick results but God see our intentions. God bless you.
Yesterday I just found out that when I don't go to. Confession . Or Mass. It's a mortal sin 😔 , I've been a Catholic Christian all my. Life,Catholic Christian all my life ¿ School also . How could I miss this ? I'm glad God took care of me. I talked to my Priest today. I'm going . It's been very hard to go, For a year i haven't been able to walk. My Back is is bent over and I can't stand up straight.
Thank you Father Ryan. In faith concerning judgement, we can also look to the example of the good thief on the cross. The good thief judged rightly and justly; Our Lord, Jesus Christ being crucified even for doing nothing wrong, while truthfully condemning his own sin and the sin of the other thief on the cross. Our Lord, Jesus saw this good thief in truth and mercy, forgiving him for his repentance.
Thank you, Fr. Ryan! A lot of people don't understand this, and thank you for explaining this. 🙏 ❤ Father, I then hear, I don't believe in God, I'm not religious, and then they say to me to stop judging them. The action of the sin is what we judge. Our Lord will judge their hearts. Love them and pray for them...
ohhh father, i have always been *attacked, judged, and condemned* during the mass because i would always *put into prayers* all my *disgusts* about the evilness that people have done to me. some prayer warriors wanted me to *stop* my prayers telling me i was *disrespecting* the holy mass, calling me *bully,* telling me that *i just wanted attention* without realizing that i was just *pouring out my heart and soul to God* knowing that He was truly present in the holy eucharist. for me, they were just trying to *show* me that they were holy and i was evil because of my *"hurt feelings".* for me, *they were the ones messing up and disrespecting the mass* because if they were truly humble and holy, not prideful, arrogant, haughty, hypocrite souls, they should have kept their mouths *shut* and just *trusted* the Lord that if i were truly committing greivous sins during the mass, i and i alone would be accountable to the Lord for disrespecting the mass. they have forgotten that we are all sinners in God's sight and so they were very quick to judge and condemn me during the mass. they have prayed that God would take care of every situation in their lives but He tested them and put me in their midst but instead of trusting the Lord that He would take care of me for disrespecting the mass if indeed true, they *judged and condemned* me which was sooo evil in my sight. because i was just a poor, poor, miserable wretched sinner wanting to participate in the celebration of the holy eucharist but they judged and condemned me because i was pouring out my hurt feelings to God, they, who are all *advocates of divine mercy and forgiveness* but they were *not* merciful and forgiving to me. they have prayed for *peace* in their hearts and communities but they were actually *provoking* me, *challenging* my patience and understanding towards them. so, i also judged and condemned them for their behavior towards me during the mass. if i were wrong, then i have already done all atonements, reparations, penances, and mortification for all my sins. 🙏🙏🙏 *Jesus, i trust in You.* Jesus, i love You to folly. - Victim Soul Salve Maria. 🙏😇🌷 S.A.G. 🙏🙏🙏
ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II: “By forgiving his executioners, Jesus showed he is not the accuser of the guilty but rather their advocate and intercessor. Jesus’ words of forgiveness - “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do” - were spoken in circumstances of the greatest hatred and cruelty. Jesus forgives His adversaries immediately, even as their hostility continues. Jesus is the defender, not the accuser of the guilty, because He knows that many can be less guilty than it appears, or one thinks. For this reason, he taught his followers not to judge others. The mercy Jesus asked for His executioners is extended to all humanity.” LUKE 6:37: "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
I would also add that what is prohibited is "rash judgment". When we see something suspicious, we should not draw conclusions rashly. We can always observe, and keep our suspicions. If circumstances prove our suspicion, it is no longer a rash judgment, but an observation of the facts. This will help us be vigilant with others without falling into rash judgment. On this question I have no better recommendation than two chapters in the book called Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. It is the most balanced and clear explanation. (Please read chapters 18 and 19). ccel.org/ccel/desales/devout_life/devout_life.v.xxviii.html ccel.org/ccel/desales/devout_life/devout_life.v.xxix.html
Do you not know that you will judge the angels?...I believe it was Paul that dropped that one ....we are called upon to judge our own...I believe in judging what I see,or hear as being either good or bad.judgeing the person, however, is the sole dominion of God the Father for only he knows the heart....pray hard for those who cause you offense as their souls are in jeopardy for all eternity....we spend but a small infinitesimal amount of time on earth so be generous and merciful in your prayers and God will be generous and merciful to you.

Salve Maria! You are so welcome.
Thank you 🙏 Father Ryan . I have stopped judging people and instead pray for them because one never knows what people are going through.
This is true.
I've always looked at it as that I will not judge a person, but only by their behaviors and actions. I've also come to the conclussion that some people will never change their ways no matter how hard I try to convince them otherwise.

Experienced the same thing. 😮

I figured it was telling us not to rashly judge others.
We judge the SIN, not the person. God HATES SIN. WE too, HATE SIN. It's pretty easy to discern.
But he actually said the most important thing was to LOVE God, love others, and to forgive. His words.
How do you know the difference between judging others and being observant?
Hello. You can make judgements based on what you observe...observing carefully, you can determine whether something is good or not.
Thank you so much ❤
