Do not Judge but see as God sees.

About this episode

Br. Albert reflects on the importance of not judging others and embracing mercy and compassion as taught by Jesus.

Br. Albert reflects on Jesus' words, “Do not judge.” He clarifies that this does not mean ignoring wrongdoing, but to avoid pride, harshness, and self-righteousness. People often judge quickly, unaware of others' hidden struggles like grief, fear, or exhaustion. Instead of condemnation, we are called to emulate Jesus, who welcomed sinners with mercy and compassion. Bro Albert also points to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who endured misunderstanding and judgment herself, yet responded with humility, gentleness, and trust in God. Ultimately, the homily reminds us that true holiness lies in loving as God loves, rather than criticizing others. As we journey through the week, may we learn to see others with greater patience, mercy, and understanding and remembering how deeply God has first down mercy to us. - Saturday Novena Devotion by Br. Albert Khoo, C.Ss.R. (16 May 2026)
