"This passage Scripture teaches the same as blessed Gregory, who said: “Whenever we look at sinners, we must first of all weep over ourselves in their misfortune.” Behold, how he does not please himself, but is weak with the weak."
to which is noted...
"Similar expressions are found in Gregory’s De pastorali cura, e.g., II, 10: “Whenever something in another person’s weakness displeases you, consider what you are yourself, so that your spirit may curb its tendency to chide him because it fears in itself what it chides in others.” WA III, 446, n. 1."
