Today's Gospel reading calls us to reflect on our relationship with others. Are we merciful or are we vengeful? Are we judgmental or are we loving? Do we condemn or do we accept? Do we forgive or do we hold grudges? Do we give and not count the cost or do we reserve ourselves and our gifts for "special" people? Are we ready to be judged based on our judgments of others -- from incomplete, inconclusive, and mixed data?
Don't be to quick to pass by this reading. Sit with it. You have time right now. You're reading these words I'm typing. Reread the Gospel. Where are you?

Reflection questions:
How am I righteous?
When do I judge others unfairly?
Do I seek God first?

Danielle Rose - Litany of Humility
The Litany of Humility prayer can help us as we try to be merciful, for from a proper understanding of ourselves, from humility, we can love others better.

Blessings,
