Outward VS Inward Behaviors

When Jesus admonished the Pharisee about observing external rituals such as the washing of feet of the cleansing of the cups and dishes, while inside lurked plunder and evil, he could easily be speaking to each one of us.  How amazing it is what shadows hide within us and now and then come out to the open!  Instead of wasting time being appalled at them, it would be good to pray for God's mercy on us and for the situations or people who might have been involved in our bad thoughts.  Even these can be a grace, for God builds the rungs of our ladder to him with both our strengths and weaknesses, the good and the bad.
