Gospel
Matthew 7:1-5
Do not judge, and you will not be judged
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not judge, and you will not be judged; because the judgements you give are the judgements you will get, and the amount you measure out is the amount you will be given. Why do you observe the splinter in your brother’s eye and never notice the plank in your own? How dare you say to your brother, “Let me take the splinter out of your eye,” when all the time there is a plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.’
Reflection
One of the greatest problem with mankind is gossiping. Little do we realise gossiping is also being judgemental. The question is how perfect are we. In today's reading Christ put it nicely when he say you can see the spec of dust in people's eye but not the plank in your eye. Do we spend a lot of time gossiping?
Let us pray.
You told us do not judge for we are not perfect either. May we not be judgemental all the days of our life .
Amen
Amen
