CQOD: 04/19/06 -- Fénelon: seeing faults

Christian Quotation of the Day

April 19, 2006

Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012

Meditation:
    Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
    -- Luke 6:41-42 (ESV)

Quotation:
    So long as we are full of self, we are shocked at the faults of others. Let us think often of our own sin, and we shall be lenient to the sins of others.
    ... François Fénelon (1651-1715)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, I tremble to ask this, but show me my hypocrisy.
