To Understand One Another

“Without mercy we have little chance nowadays of becoming part of a world of ‘wounded’ persons in need of understanding, forgiveness, love.”- Pope Francis

Those who seem tough aren’t always the strongest. Those who always seem to know it all aren’t always the wisest. Those who seem righteous aren’t always the holiest ones.

With this insight, can we now begin to see others not for the masks they wear, but for who they really are? Can we now begin to feel less insecure or less angry, knowing that the person who seems to speak the loudest may be the one who hurts or fears the most deep in his heart?

May God give us eyes to see what’s truly in another person’s soul. May He give us eyes that are not quick to judge, but that which is patient in ever searching for what’s worth loving in others, especially those who seem most unworthy of our love.

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin amongst you, let him throw the first stone at her.” – John 8:7, WEB-BE
