Can a blind man lead a blind man?

 

23rd Friday in Ordinary Time.  ( Luke 6:39-42) 

Can a blind man lead a blind man?

Christ was aggrieved at the fact that we humans are easily disposed at condemning others without evaluating our own life. We don’t condemn publicly what we do privately but we even go as far as condemning people who are better than we are for the slight mistakes or misdeeds they commit.

 

Christ is irritated even offended at that attitude so He asks us to first remove the log from our eyes before going to remove the speck from another’s because a blind man cannot see and so should not lead a blind man. 

Q:  Does it mean that I should no longer correct persons for their misdeeds.

A: of course you can, but first remove the log which could be prejudices and self righteousness from your eye. So that you can see objectively and judge mercifully  with charity at heart, knowing that no one is above mistakes. 

Prayer: From hidden faults deliver, From self righteousness save me.

OLIVIA MARY, OP.
