“Let us look in the mirror before judging,” the pontiff said during a Mass.
Pope Francis delivered an important caution to Catholics on Monday: If you judge others, he said during a Mass, be prepared to receive that same measure of judgement.
In his final sermon at morning Mass before taking a summer break, the pontiff reminded his flock that judgement is God’s responsibility alone. He criticized those who would cast judgement or offer unsolicited advice before turning the lens on themselves.
“Let us look in the mirror before judging,” Francis said, according to Vatican Radio.
“Look in the mirror, but not to put on makeup to hide the wrinkles. No, no, no, that’s not the advice! Look in the mirror to look at yourself as you are,” he said. “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye and do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or, how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is still in your eye?”
The pope then went on to add, “First take the log out of your eye, and then you shall see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
