June 23, 2025 – Monday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary TimeDaily Catholic Readings & ReflectionJesus’ famous warning about judging others hits home:"Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, but not notice the plank in your own?"It’s one of the most relatable—and most ignored—teachings in the Gospels.Why do we so easily diagnose others but remain blind to our own brokenness? Because judgment feels safe, while self-examination feels threatening. Criticizing others creates the illusion of strength, but real transformation requires humility.In today’s reflection, we explore how Jesus connects inner blindness to spiritual immaturity—and why Abraham’s journey out of his homeland wasn’t just geographic but deeply internal. Like Abraham, we’re invited to leave the comfort of judging others and begin the far more vulnerable journey of inner growth.Jesus’ words aren’t about staying silent in the face of sin—they’re about checking your own heart first. True discernment flows from humility, not superiority.In today’s reflection, you’ll discover:Why we default to judging others instead of examining ourselvesHow self-righteousness creates blindness and blocks spiritual growthWhat Abraham’s call teaches us about personal transformationWhy grace starts with removing the plank in our own eye📖 Readings:Genesis 12:1–9Psalm 33:12–13, 18–19, 20, 22Matthew 7:1–5⏱️ Timeline:00:00 – Introduction00:15 – Reading I: Genesis 12:1–901:35 – Psalm Response: Psalm 33:12–13,18–19,20,2203:46 – Gospel: Matthew 7:1–504:25 – ReflectionPerfect for anyone struggling with critical thoughts, seeking spiritual maturity, or needing to shift from judgment to humility in relationships and faith.🟦 Tagscatholic daily readings, matthew 7:1-5, judge not, abraham's call, plank in eye, spiritual growth, catholic homily, daily mass reflection, catholic meditation, faith over judgment, catholic gospel reflection, catholic bible study, humility in christianity, judge others bible, catholic discipleship, inner healing, genesis 12 reflection, catholic youtube, gospel reading today, catholic sermon#CatholicDailyReadings #JudgmentVsSelfExamination #PlankInEye
