“There is a remarkable set of sayings of Jesus, in Luke’s sermon on the plain that we have been reading recently at daily mass. These things present a kind of mathematics of the kingdom of God. In effect the Lord says to us, ‘Pay attention! You are going to be judged by the same standard by which you treat and judge others. So do the math, and realize that you were storing up for yourselves a kind of standard by which I will judge you.’”
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on ways in which we can influence the standard God will use to judge us.
