| Mercy - the Virtues by Damian Hirst Credit: fairart.oi |
These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the Lord. Zechariah 8: 16-17
What is truth? How can we trust it? Truth is more than words. Truth is deeds. Judgements are balanced, weighed up, and impartial, because life is complex. Opposing evil stands out from the humdrum and sings. It gladdens the soul. Where do we need truth? Truth without love is an evil. We need to be honest about priorities in our society. But if this is to exclude the poor, the disabled and the homeless, the truth is better than lies, but only just. Truth that opposes evil, and points to love is the gift Jesus' brings.
PRAYER: May compassion be honours and evil exposed.
