Sunday 2 March 2025 - The log in your own eye
Today is Sunday 2nd March beginning the 8th week of Ordinary Time
Today is Sunday the 2nd of March, beginning the 8th week of Ordinary Time. Harpa Dei sing the Creed in Latin: “I believe in one God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.” Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Luke. Luke 6:39-42 He also told them a parable: "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully qualified will be like the teacher. Why do you see the speck in your neighbour’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbour, ‘Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour’s eye. How easy it can be for us to judge others. Have you ever felt angry at the fault of others? Can you remember it? What was it about? Was there some weakness in yourself that was at the heart of your anger, or was it “all them”? Have you ever felt judged by someone else? What was that like? How did it feel to you? Listen to the reading again, and to the invitation Jesus makes to us, to look with kind eyes at those around us. Luke 6:39-42 He also told them a parable: "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully qualified will be like the teacher. Why do you see the speck in your neighbour’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbour, ‘Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour’s eye. What can you ask of God now, that might help you see yourself and others, the way God does? Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
