St. Francis - Rule of 1223: Quarreling and judging
"Indeed, I counsel, warn and exhort my friars in the Lord Jesus Christ, that when they go about through the world, they are not to quarrel nor contend in words, nor are they to judge others, but they are to be meek, peaceable and modest, meek and humble, speaking uprightly to all, as is fitting." - III
As part of my Secular Franciscan Order formation readings, I came across that passage yesterday. It jumped out at me.
I fail to follow that rule too many times. I am too ready to judge, too ready to quarrel and contend. Forgive me, Lord.
