Leading us to the practice of goodness, driving out evil from us, the Lord, who commanded not to judge or condemn our neighbors, to forgive our neighbors all their sins against us, also lays down the law: “in everything that you want people to do to you, do so to them” (Matthew 7:12). We love that our neighbors be lenient towards our weaknesses and shortcomings, that they generously endure insults and insults from us, that they do us all kinds of services and favors - we will be like that towards our neighbors. Then we will achieve the fullness of goodness, according to which our prayer will receive special power; its strength always corresponds to the degree of our goodness. “Judge not, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed together, pressed and running over, will be poured into your bosom; For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you” (Luke 6:37-38) from the merciful and just God in His mercy.
