Hmm ....

In his final general audience during the Year of Mercy, Francis reflected on two verses in the Gospel of St. Luke (6:41-42) in which Jesus warns against the hypocrisy of noticing "the splinter in your brother's eye," but not perceiving "the wooden beam in your own."

"Offering counsel and admonishing sinners are works of mercy, but they are not a license to pretend to be better than others. To counsel others is a chance to see how well you, too, measure up to essential standards. Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother's eye."

"What must we do with bothersome people? First, look in the mirror and see if we, too, may sometimes prove to be bothersome to others. It's easy to point a finger at other people's faults and shortcomings, but we must learn to put ourselves in the other person's shoes."
