Oh My! The Righteous Judgement of God

The Word in the Roman Catholic Lectionary today brings us into contact with thoughts of judgement of our actions by God. Paul implores us not to judge others. He advises that the good deeds of people will be recognized by God. The evil done will also be addressed by a righteous God. Luke reminds us of Jesus dismay at the hypocrisy of the leaders of His time. He identifies the actions of Pharisee’s and Lawyer to load people with unimportant burdens under the Law while ignoring the concerns of the same people.
The take away insight today may be in reflection on our actions and tasking of others. The ego so often demands control and control is too often exercised by holding people captive by truly unnecessary tasks and trivial undertakings.
