Escuchemos nuestras propias palabras, porque en ellas veremos la riqueza o la pobreza de nuestro corazón. El Evangelio de hoy es unaadvertencia para cada uno de nosotros. Porque en cada uno de nosotros hay un pequeño, ya veces incluso mayor,hipócrita al que le gusta amonestar y reprender a los demás, a menudo sin mejorarse a sí mismo. Pero Cristo quiereque nos veamos a nosotros mismos de manera diferente. Primero en mí mismo, luego en los demás. Que veríamosnuestro rayo y realmente nos preocuparíamos por él, porque es un peligro real para nosotros. La hipocresía es como unpequeño gusano que muerde por dentro y trabaja sistemáticamente destruyendo lo que todavía está sano. Vale la penarecordar bien el Evangelio de hoy, porque nos permitirá mirar a los demás y ver la verdad en la vida y estar seguros deque lo estamos haciendo bien. Veamos también a este hipócrita en nosotros y no dejemos que domine demasiado.Nuestra Oración del Domingo¡Dios! ¡Padre de la luz! ¡Dame un corazón puro! Quita de mi corazón todo lo que es bajo, como pensamientos deshonestos o sentimientos impuros. Dame un corazón limpio y llénalo con Tu gracia, para que pueda sentir Tu HermosaPresencia y traerte gloria. Por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén. ¡QUE TENGAS UN BUEN DOMINGO!Padre Lukas4-587
