With a lifelong struggle against pride and judgementalism, today’s Gospel touches us deeply. It is so easy to find the problems that other people have, even in those whom we love very much. Jesus doesn’t deny that other people also make mistakes, but invites to first focus on our own mistakes. The important thing is that we are honest and keep working on our own challenges first.
