Speck and Log

Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed

This is a meditation on Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus’ teaching on judgement and self-awareness.

Why do you see the speck in your neighbour’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?

Jesus invites us to reflect on our perpective, our focus, and our self-awareness.

Some questions that rise for me as I meditate on these words:

Is my capacity to give love linked to my capacity to receive love?

Does judging and criticising preclude me from being generous and loving?

Which voices, places, or friendships help me to see myself more honestly and more lovingly?

May the questions you need today rise for you as you pray.

Every blessing, dear ones!

Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
