Messages that ring a bell

I finally made it to Mass today. It’s been awhile. After leaving the service I picked up the bulletin and the message really hit home for me.  Here is some of the message…

Ezekiel has advice on how to warn the wicked to change their ways. This is a touchy subject these days. We’re not supposed to judge others.
Are we supposed to avoid making honest judgments? Can we steer between being judgmental? On any topic, including whether someone is aware of others’ sins (or is not aware enough), we are looking for sound judgement. We cannot avoid living out our values together. With every choice we make, we impact others. How we interact at school or work or home matters. How we correct our children matters. If we don’t correct our children, that matters.
In the body of Christ, we are faced with two very down to earth realizations: We are far from perfect. We are interconnected.
