The 8th Sunday of Ordinary Time | Sunday 27 February 2022

Today is Sunday the 27th of February, beginning the eighth week of Ordinary time.

Leslie Jordan with the Porter's Gate sings, 'Teach Us Your Ways'.
Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke.
Luke 6:39-42
He also told them a parable: 'Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully qualified will be like the teacher. Why do you see the speck in your neighbour's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbour, "Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye", when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour's eye.

A famous passage today: we encounter Jesus using humour to drive him an important point about our human hearts. How do you hear this teaching today afresh? How do you imagine Jesus saying it?
Is there a situation in your life at the moment where it's possible you haven't first taken the log out of your own eye? Talk to God about this now…

As you listen again, notice what you are drawn to…
Might you be in a position today of seeing clearly enough to take a speck out of your neighbour's eye? Spend some time in prayer with this now.


Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
