Eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time • Year C
Jesus goes further than asking us to regulate our speech or writing. He wants us to look into our hearts, our inner self, and find areas of growth. Allowing him and his word to penetrate our hearts will provide light for the course. Recognizing our weaknesses, limitations, biases, and sins will help us be patient with others while allowing us to grow into the persons God has made us to be. Along the journey, we come to the realization, ever new, that God has been merciful to us; it is this same mercy that He wants us to share with others.
