Lectio Divina: Consider Intentions

“Beware of condenming any man’s action. Consider your neighbor’s intention, which is often honest and innocent, even though his act seems bad in outward appearance.”
~St. Ignatius Loyola

Reflection:
When have I judged someone’s actions without taking time to consider their intentions—or my own need for compassion?

Scripture:
“Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” — John 7:24 (NRSV)
