“Always be impartial and just in your deeds. Put yourself into your neighbor’s place, and him in yours, and then you will judge fairly . . . Frequently, therefore, examine your heart, whether it is so disposed towards your neighbor, as you would have his disposed towards you, were you to change places; for this is the true test.”
[St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life, p. 226]
When our perspective is from the shoes of our neighbor, our hearts and our heads should be wiser in what we say and in what we do.
May God Be Praised!
