The Lord judges the peoples. Psalm 7:8
The word of God is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
God of justice and mercy, you know everything about us. You are able to see through our pretentions and affectations. When you look at us, see us through eyes of divine mercy. Pour your love into our hearts, that we, in turn, may love you and our neighbors. Rescue us from our misjudgments and wrongful impulses. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
