Be compassionate as your father is compassionate.

Do not judge and you will not be judged.

We can be angry just  because they are late.

Or perhaps because they have not budged.

I am trying to do Francis’ tenth prayer.

Fast from grudges and be reconciled.

If only we could do this we would be relieved from care.

If only all these irritations could be filed.

Of course we will not succeed.

We can only try.

Even if we don’t do the deed.

But we will not lie.

We nurture  all these grudges.

But we should know we are not the judges.

……..

Fast  then from grudges

Be reconciled to others

That must be the way

…….

See Luke 6: 36-38
