Today's Gospel Passage hits us right between the eye. (Lk 6:39-42). Jesus observes so rightly how easy it is to find fault with someone else, and not realize that we might have even greater faults in our own behavior that we fail to see. "Why do you noticed the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?" (Lk 6: 41). We don't like criticism and sometimes take it at nit-picking, putting ourselves on the defense and failing to accept that there is room for improvement, yes, even in our "perfect " selves. Let us be humble enough to accept advice or admonishment from others, who see us more clearly than we see ourselves; let us ask Jesus for the grace to be able to remove the beam that blinds us.
