I try to see the saint in another person, while they might see only the sinner, or failure, or inadequacy in themselves. Example: someone cooks and things don't turn out as tasty as they thought it would be or hoped it would be. They see themselves as hopeless in the kitchen. But I see the saint because they are trying to serve others in cooking. They are thinking about others besides themselves. I see someone in recovery, their recent lives shattered, and they think themselves hopeless or horrible and a failure at life. Then they go and help another suffering person. I see the saint. I try to keep this in mind when I end my meditation time. My mind was all scattered with thoughts holding onto me. I judge myself a mess. But my God sees the saint. I showed up, did I not?
