Loving God, who welcomes all who would come to you, keep us from judging those whom you love, lest we fail to see our own faults and needs and so put divisions between your children and isolate ourselves from you, through Christ our savior, who gave himself for all and now intercedes for us before your throne in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.”‘ – Luke 15:2
