Love is the absence of judgment.

By welcoming a marginalized person whose body is wounded and by welcoming the sinner whose soul is wounded, we put our credibility as Christians on the line. Let us always remember the words of Saint John of the Cross: "In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone.

I am a hard person to love but when I love, I love really hard.

It could all be so simple, but you'd rather make it hard, loving you is like a battle, and we both end up with scars.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Judge not, before you judge yourself.
