**To Judge Is to Play God**

        In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 7, Jesus said to his disciples, "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye." It is true that we see others' faults easily, but rarely our own. We should simply perfect ourselves and pray for others, leaving all judgment to the Lord.
