From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta
Book of Heaven. Vol. 2, July 30, 1899. Do not judge your neighbor.
Luisa:
It continues almost always in the same way. This morning, as Jesus transported me outside of myself according to His usual way, we passed through the midst of many people, and the majority of them were intent on judging other people’s actions, without looking at their own. My beloved Jesus told me:
Jesus:
“The surest means to be upright with one’s neighbor is to not look at all at what they are doing, because looking, thinking and judging is all the same. Besides, by looking at his neighbor, one comes to defraud his own soul; therefore it happens that he is not upright either with himself, or with his neighbor, or with God. ”
Luisa:
After this, I said to Him: ‘My only Good, it has been a while since You gave me even just a kiss. ’ And so we kissed each other. Then, almost wanting to correct me, He added:
Jesus:
“My daughter, what I recommend to you is to preserve and cherish my words, because my word is eternal and holy as I am Myself, and by preserving it in your heart and profiting from it, you will have your sanctification and will receive an eternal splendor as recompense, produced by my word. By doing otherwise, your soul would receive a void, and you would remain my debtor. ” (Divine Will App)
Scripture Meditation- 7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. (Matthew 7:1-5) (RSV Catholic Edition).
Prayer Reflection- O Lord Your Word is living effective, sharper than a double edge sword (Hebrews 4:12). So let us preserve the Word in our hearts and profit from it for our sanctification and the sanctification of others. O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You because while not judging others seems like Christian 101 we so often find ourselves doing just what our Luisa describes judging others around us without looking at our own actions. So let us keep our eyes not on others, not even ourselves but fixed firmly on You that we would let Your Word and Your Will live in us and love others in us! Fiat!
