glory to you o lord jesus told his disciples a parable [Music] can a blind person guide a blind person will not both fall into a pit no disciple is superior to the teacher but when fully trained every disciple will be like his teacher why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own how can you say to your brother brother let me remove that splinter in your eye when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye you remove the wooden beam from your eye first then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother's eye a good tree does not bear rotten fruit nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit for every tree is known by its fruit for people do not pick figs from thorn bushes nor do they gather grapes from brambles a good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ please be seated my dear brothers and sisters in many aspects of our life we demand credibility and expertise we do not just trust anyone [Music] we trust only those who are credible those who are experts those who know what they are saying and what they are doing if you are sick would you just trust anyone who would tell you what medicines to take would you just trust anyone who is not a doctor to perform a procedure on you or to operate you [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign restore [Music] that is credibility [Music] [Music] this my dear brothers and sisters is the point of jesus in our gospel today jesus tells us in this life credibility is important especially in leadership credibility is essential jesus says can someone who could not see guide another person who could not see jesus says will not both fall into a pit but [Music] jesus also says how can you judge another person how can you point out the fault of another person when you could not even see your own faults if a judge in court could not see objectively the facts and he is biased he is blinded by biases prejudices and even money is jesus tells us today be credible remove first the splint the wooden beam in your own eye [Music] so that you may see clearly the splinter in your brother's eye that is credibility there are many ways through which we could test a person's credibility one way is to check the person's background sanbayan nangaling jesus tells us in our gospel a good tree does not bear rotten fruit nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit hindi and so check the tree in order to know the fruit spinach [Music] credibility [Music] the book of sirach in our first reading today even says the fruit of a tree shows the care [Music] but looking at the background is not the only test because we are not trees there are good people who came from not go not so good families and there are people who are not so good who came from good families [Music] there are other tests of credibility the second test according to jesus is through words [Music] our gospel today ended with these words of jesus from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks and so our words reveal what is in our heart jesus said a good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good but an evil person out of the store of good of evil produces evil booty [Music] [Music] our words are the windows to our soul mate [Music] foreign our first reading also tells us so too does one's speech disclose the bent of one's mind praise no one before he speaks for it is then that people are tested is [Music] another test of credibility is through deeds through actions there are people who are very good in words but very poor in actions in our second reading today tells us be firm be steadfast always fully devoted to the work of the lord knowing that in the lord your labor is in foreign credibility is tested specially through actions [Music] my dear brothers and sisters are we credible do
