Simplicity of soul and a pure eye

Today's quote from Orthodox Life Tips is fantastic. This is the exact opposite of what the spirit of our culture teaches.

Christians should judge no one, neither an open harlot, nor sinners, nor dissolute people, but should look upon all with simplicity of soul and a pure eye. Purity of heart, indeed, consists in seeing sinful and weak men and having compassion for them and being merciful.
- St. Makarios the Great
