Know this: You should judge every person by his merits. Even someone who seems to be completely wicked, you must search and find that little speck of good, for in that place, he is not wicked. By this you will raise him up, and help him return to G-d. And you must also do this for yourself, finding your own good points, one after the other, and raising yourself up. This is how melodies are made, note after note.
Witnesses to Hope 
Okay, it is 10:15 PM here in Chicago and I had not read the blog for today until now. I was volunteering all day at Misericordia. I am bawling over the Lord’s conviction to me in this message.
I think I had better find confession tomorrow.
Kathleen.
I hope you’re looking for the specks of good in yourself, Kathleen . . . Thank you for being a witness to hope all day long at Misericordiae.
