ST. CATHERINE OF SWEDEN
GIVE UP PREJUDICE
The temple authorities in their willful neglect confirmed that Jesus was not the messiah. The common folk in their insufficiency of knowledge were confused and were hesitant to accept him as the Messiah: "but we know where this man comes from." The false judgment and the wrong predictions plotted for the death of the long awaited messiah, Jesus.
With our judgemental attitude backed by prejudice often times we fail to discover and appreciate the sparkling qualities in others. It must also be because either we are too proud or too self-righteous. May the season of lent help us to appreciate others without any bias or prejudice.
