Happiness is hidden in suffering, redemptive, and transformational.
Life is not black and white. When we find ourselves standing on one side or another of an issue or a situation, we have assumed the role of judge, a role that is not ours. We are challenged to show no partiality , to make no distinctions in life, for we cannot truly know the heart and mind of another. While difficult to do, we are called to look with love on all those we meet and pray for God’s blessings to fall upon them. As you go through this day, pause and reflect on the issues you face and strive to be a voice of reason, calm, and patience, showing a path of love to God and neighbor.
God of compassion, you are the true judge of what is good and evil. Free us from the temptation to pass judgment on ourselves and others, so that we may live more fully as your sons and daughters. Through Christ our Lord, amen
