“How shall I get the grace of never judging my neighbour?”
“Through prayer.”
“Then why haven’t I found it yet?”
“Because you haven’t prayed in the right place.”
“Where is that?”
“In the heart of God.”
“And how do I get there?”
“Understand that anyone who sins does not know what he is doing and deserves to be forgiven.”
