"The trouble  is that everyone talks about reforming others, and no one thinks about reforming himself" St. Peter of Alcantara

This was the message of John the Baptist and of Jesus to some of the religious leaders of their day. It is the same message God gives to each of us today. Focus on the sins in your own heart, before you call forth the sin in the hearts of others. For we are all sinners before the Lord. We are all in need of repentance and constant conversion, for when we call out our own sin, we will be better able to see the sin of another. Because Jesus was sinless, he was able to see the sins of others, and reach out in love, calling them back.
