As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Alleluia Ant. 1      My commandment is this: love one another as I have loved you   Psalm 36               The malice of sinners and God’s goodness Transgression speaks to the sinner, in the depths of his heart. There is no fear of God, before his eyes. In his own eyes, he flatters himself, not to see and detest his own guilt. The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit.   He has ceased to be prudent and do good. In bed he plots iniquity.   He sets his foot on every wicked way; no evil does he reject. Your mercy, Lord, reaches to heaven, your truth to the clouds, your righteousness is like God’s mountain; like the great deep, your justice. Both man and beast you save, O Lord…….. psalm 19

He told Philip to have seen him, he is the God image: The FATHER. When we condemn someone, could we not be compassionate instead of condemnation? When we criticise others could we no try to see the goodness in others? When we laugh at other people’s imperfection, are we ourselves perfect? If only we could see the same trait in us, we could then know that we too Whenever we do so we do not have mercy
