Gospel text
Lk 6:39-45
Lk 6:39-45
Jesus told his disciples a parable, “(...) How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye?
Gospel's Commentary
Today we hear the parable of the blind man who leads another blind man ... Both will fall at the same time in the same hole. An up to date situation!: we live in a time where we are "brave" for life, but yet slaves of fashions (clothes, toys, cars ...). To be a leader capable of helping others, you must be "critical" and demanding on yourself.
- "If you do not have a friend who corrects you, pay an enemy to do it."
