Homilies about self-righteousness

Why We Judge Others and How to Stop

The homily emphasizes the difficulty of self-reflection and the tendency to judge others while overlooking one's own faults. The priest shares a personal anecdote from seminary about two friends with opposing personalities, illustrating the Gospel's message of removing the 'wooden beam' from one's own eye before attempting to remove the 'splinter' from another's. He stresses the importance of quiet moments for introspection to recognize our own shortcomings and receive God's mercy.
