Recongnizing Our Own Sinfulness

Today's Readings:
1 Cor 9:16-19, 22-27
Ps 84:3-6, 12
Lk 6:39-42

Today Jesus reminds us that before we judge others, we must first look into the mirror and see our own sinfulness. How can we see other's faults if we can not even see our own? St. Paul uses the example of an athlete's discipline in training to show that we are called to train constantly in our spiritual life so that we may grow in it. Recognizing our faults and our sinfulness helps to show us what we need to work on in our lives so that we may train harder so that we too may win the crown of imperishable life. This morning let promise our Lord that we will worry less about other's faults and first work on our own so that when he does come again, we may be found ready to greet him with open hearts. May God bless you all and have a great day.
