Who Are You to Judge Your Neighbor?

None of us has the right to condemn anyone. Even when we see people doing bad and we don't know why they do it. Jesus invites us not to pass judgment. Maybe we are the ones who have helped make them what they are. We need to realize that they are our brothers and sisters. That leper, that drunkard, and that sick person are our brothers because they too have been created for a greater love. This is something that we should never forget. Jesus Christ identifies himself with them and says, “Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me” (Matt.25:40). Perhaps it is because we haven't given them our understanding and love that they find themselves on the streets without love and care.
