Compassion over Judgment

The Catholic New Service (see link below right) is reporting Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa, the preacher of the papal household, spoke of the call priests have to be bearers of compassion, not judgment, to the people. He said, “Do not judge, but save” them. He quoted John in saying, “God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.”

Good advice for deacons too who also are to bear the compassion of Christ to the whole world.
