A gentle reminder:

Children are like snowflakes.

They are pure.

They are beautiful.

They are unique.

They each soar, at their own pace,

so never try to compare them!

(Nor make them look small!)

Snowflakes are dancing (Hommage a Pascal Campion).

Arsène Lupin (from the lupin books by Maurice Leblanc) and peter nureyev (from the penumbra podcast)

what do these two men have in common? Well, they're both "master thieves" stealing riches and jewels, as well as the hearts of the readers/licensers and characters within their world. they both go on wacky and mysterious adventures finding new places, tracking down clues for those they care for. And boy do we love to see them at their work.

God never compares us to anyone else

If you are a good person, then you are aware of your shortcomings.

You can’t be a good person if you’re not. Because being a good person requires a lot of work, a lot of course corrections, a lot of do-overs.

It’s a process. A life-long one. One that’s critical to becoming who God made you to be.

Which is why the Church has a Sacrament devoted to course corrections and do-overs. And to making sure that you and I know that God loves us – right in the middle of that work. No matter how many course corrections and do-overs we have.

But if you and I don’t know about our shortcomings, then there’s nothing we can do about them.

Which is why being aware of your shortcomings is part of being a good person.

But there’s a right way and a wrong way to use that awareness.

If I’m aware of my shortcomings, so that I can work on them?

So that I can take them to God in prayer, so that I can talk them through with a friend, so that I right the wrongs that I’ve done, so that I can work on what’s behind them with a therapist, so that I can receive God’s grace and forgiveness in the Sacrament?

Then I’m use that awareness the right way.

But if I’m using that awareness of all my shortcomings to compare myself to someone else? Then I am setting myself up to be miserable. Not to mention making a false comparison.

Why do I say that? Because all I know about other people is what I see on the outside. Their carefully crafted exteriors, which (as Jesus tells us) “appear beautiful on the outside.”

This, by the way, is the dynamic that Jesus is talking about in today’s Gospel. When he condemns the Pharisees for spending their time making sure that they look good on the outside.

Instead of doing the hard work, instead of doing the heavy lifting needed to deal with their shortcomings, on the inside.

The thing is, even if we’re not like the Pharisees. Even if we are working on our shortcomings – instead of desperately trying to pretend that we don’t have any. All of us look better on the outside than we do on the inside.

So, when I look at you, I see a finished package. I see someone who has it together. Who has a certain style, a certain flair, who seems at peace with God and happy in their own skin.

What I can’t see is all of the work that you put in to get there. Or how hard you’re working now to be the person God made you to be. And even though you know your work is nowhere near complete, all I get to see is the outside. All I get to see is a finished package.

And when I compare your finished package to the mess on my inside?

That is when I use my awareness of my shortcomings the wrong way.

Because when I look at my insides, I know that I’m nowhere close to you. And it makes my heart sink. Who knows if I’ll ever get there?

If you’ve got that perspective on your shortcomings?

It’s a great way to let your shortcomings get between you and God. And it’s not from God.

Which is why dealing with our shortcomings never involves looking at anyone else.

And its why God never compares us to anyone else.

Never compare your inside to someone else’s outside.

不應拿自己和其他基督徒作比較；而應問自己是否效法基督，基督才是唯一我要追隨的人。
