"Judge not, and you will not be judged;
condemn not, and you will not be condemned;
forgive, and you will be forgiven."
Luke 6:37
Justice, O Lord, is on your side; we are shamefaced even to this day: because of their treachery toward you. O LORD, we are shamefaced, for having sinned against you. -- Daniel 9:7-8
To be clothed with Jesus Christ it is necessary to die to oneself. That which comes from Satan begins with calmness and ends in storm, indifference, and apathy. -- Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
Yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness! Yet we rebelled against you and paid no heed to your command, O LORD, our God, to live by the law you gave us through your servants the prophets (Daniel 9:9-10).
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low (Psalm 79:8).
Let the groans of the prisoners come before thee; according to thy great power preserve those doomed to die! -- Psalm 79:11
