On this last day of our forty day L.U.C.I.E. Fast, we see that the list of many instructions and admonitions in Romans 12 and 13 are giving way to a detailed treatise on one subject: JUDGE NOT!
As Francis Frangipane has so simply and eloquently said, in this kingdom, only those willing to lay down their lives for others are fit to judge. (Holiness, Truth, and the Presence of God, by Francis Frangipane)
This is our judgment in Cor Unum: we would desire that those we love walk in truth, making love their aim, free to worship our God and King and free to love others. Nothing else will suffice, and so we judge ourselves to be kneeling warriors, fighting the good fight of faith, that none are so lost that the Good Shepherd cannot find and rescue them, bringing them back to the fold in his strong arms.
