Propose, Don't Impose

When helping others in their struggle, be gentle and compassionate.  Imitate the mercy of Christ.  We should never impose our beliefs and ideas on others, but propose in a loving way.

Pope Francis recently broached the subject, “Permit me to say that we must be almost obsessive in this matter. We do not want to be presumptuous, imposing ‘our truths.’ What must guide us is the humble yet joyful certainty of those who have been found, touched, and transformed by the Truth who is Christ, ever to be proclaimed.”
