Judgment
Illustration★★★★Legend of, Moses, a monk of Scete in Egypt, was called upon to judge a brother overtaken in a fault. He refused; but being again called, filled a basket with sand, and placing it upon his back, went to the court. They asked, “O Father! what art thou doing?’ He answered, “My sons, all my sins are behind my back following me, and I see them not, and shall I judge this day the sins of another man?”
The point
Called to judge a brother's fault, a monk carries a basket of sand on his back as a reminder that his own sins follow him unseen, so he cannot judge another.
