Do not judge, so that you in turn may not be judged.  – Mt 7:1

Reflection.  You’ll feel better if you are ready to give others the benefit of the doubt.  Unless you have full access to all the facts, try to withhold your judgment.  Even when the person is truly guilty, remember the words of Jesus, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Lk 23:34).

Prayer.  Dear Lord, make my heart like Yours, that I may be ready to forgive. Â
