Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Judgmentalism” – Faith: Jesus reminded His disciples not to be judgmental. We too are often ‘blind’ to our own faults and sins. Ponder on, “Do we at times, behave ‘hypocritically,’ especially when we have more serious faults and sins than others? Pray for the grace of humility and openness to God’s Light of Truth in our lives.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 7:1-5
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 that 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.’
