Friday within the 23rd week Year C. 1Tim 1. 1-2, 12-14; Ps 16; Luke 6:39-42
Do we do our self-introspection before we advise, judge or try to help others to make their lives better? The blind leading the blind" can represent each of us in some situations. Sometimes, we fail to see our own weaknesses, our mistakes, and flows, yet we tend to be eager to guide other people to the right path. Through this metaphor, Jesus warns us to be humble by examining ourselves first so that we can lead by example. When our motivation is love, our fraternal correction truly becomes an act of love and not a desire to condemn. We are indeed called to be humble and merciful as we realise our personal weaknesses.
Jesus, I trust in you!
