Judge not, lest you be judged. We often see the faults in our brothers’ and sisters’ eyes, but do not see the fault in our very own. Jesus is reminding us not to be hypocrites, but to act with integrity, if we have the faith and love in following after Him.
We must constantly dwell on our own actions as well inactions. That is why we pray at the beginning of Mass to be forgiven for our failings; for all that we have done, and all that we have failed to do. It is not about following the law to the letter, or imposing hardships on others for following after Jesus. But rather that we lead them through love, to the very source of life to be found behind and ordered life in Him.
Therefore, all of us must constantly seek to repent of our own sins, be filled with the grace from full reconciliation with Him, so that we can truly live out the Gospel in our lives, leading others to the joy of life with Him. Amen.
