Quotes about Judgment
Don't let religious-sounding reluctance fool you. When you plead "unworthy" and refuse to be served by God, you place your judgment about yourself above God's. You say you would prefer to go it alone, and you imply that your unworthiness goes beyond the scope of God's mercy and grace. You must think that God cleanses you only from ordinary sins, not from the spectacular ones.

But there was no room at the inn; the inn is the gathering place of public opinion; so often public opinion locks its doors to the King.

God has given different gifts for different people. There is no basis for feeling inferior to another who has a different gift. Once it is realised that we shall be judged by the gift we have received, rather than the gift we have not, one is completely delivered from a false sense of inferiority.
— Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Being is the soul of every concept, of every judgment and of every reasoning.
— Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Some faces are never so gay as when regaling a scandal, which the generous heart would cover and the devout heart pray over.
