Do not speak against one another,
brothers/ sisters.
The one who speaks against a brother/sister
or judges their brother /sister
speaks against the law and
judges the law.
But if you judge the law,
you are not a lawkeeper
but you are a judge.
There is one lawgiver
and judge
who can save and destroy.
But you – who are you to judge (your) neighbour?
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy,
For your mercy and for your truth’s sake. Amen
