St. Andrew Catholic Church

Brothers and Sisters,

We have often heard the saying: “Don’t judge!” But we are to judge! We are to make judgments. Judgment is one of the God given faculties of our human minds. But what is meant is to judge actions, but don’t be judgmental toward the person. Sometimes we don’t have all the correct information and so we need always to be compassionate, patient, and gentle toward the faults of others.

In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us that we are to live in such a way as to bring forth a good harvest.

Pastor’s Question of the Week: Are you able to judge the words and actions of others while still being patient, compassionate, and gentle?
