When do I pull the plug and lay down my final judgment?
"Make no judgments where you have no compassion."Anne McCaffrey~
Mercy and compassion are two of my finest qualities.
For a more enriching experience, go down on your knees to pray or take it one step further and prostrate yourself (lay face down) on the floor while praying.
Father, in today's reading below I am reminded that final judgment is not mine, it is Your's. In the end it will be You who separates the wheat from the chaff. I am also reminded that just as the flowers and the weeds are mixed together, both the Good and bad people are mixed together as well and constant care must be taken by me not to uproot myself from You thereby taking me off the intended path You have for me. Until Your final judgment, there is the possibility that my Goodness may rub off on others. Just as the wheat needs to be watered, cared for and sometimes fenced, so must I remain diligent in caring for myself so that I can do what You purposed me to do. It is not my place to judge and separate, it is Yours. If You haven't yet laid down Your final judgment, how could I? Surely mercy and compassion are still two things I need to learn. Thank You for this awareness today.
Through Jesus Christ's Most Precious Blood, Most Sacred Name and Most Holy Face, I thank You for this awareness. Amen~
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matthew 13:24-30
24 He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.
26 When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.
27 The slaves of the householder came to him and said, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?'
28 He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29 He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them.
30 Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
