Today's gospel Matthew 7:1-5

Jesus teaches us to approach judgment with humility and self-awareness. He warns against judging others harshly, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and personal transformation.
Before trying to remove the speck from someone else's eye, we need to address the plank in our own eye. This requires humility and a willingness to confront our own flaws.

Recognizing our own flaws and limitations can help us approach others with empathy and understanding.
When interacting with others, strive to be understanding and empathetic, rather than judgmental. Focus on becoming more like Christ,  rather than trying to appear righteous or holier than others.

Let us pray 

Lord help us to approach judgment with humility and self-awareness. May we prioritize self-reflection and personal transformation than focusing on the flaws of others. Lord help us to cultivate healthier relationships and a deeper understanding of Your love and justice for all people. 
Thank you for Your kindness and compassion. Bless and enrich our relationships.
Amen.
