My child, if you want to live amongst people, you must watch the
following: Do not criticize anyone at all; do not ridicule anyone; do
not become angry; do not despise anyone. Be very careful not to say
'so-and-so lives virtuously,' or 'so-and-so lives immorally,' because
this is exactly what 'judge not' means. Look at everyone in the same
way, with the same disposition, the same thought, with a simple heart.
Accept them as you would accept Christ. Don't open your ears to a
person who judges."
St. Nephon.

The Bible reading for the 12th of Baba, October 22nd, is:
After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi,
sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he left
all, rose up, and followed Him.
Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a
great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. And
their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples,
saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a
physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the
righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Luke 5:27-32)
