Sunday Meditation: Measure for Measure

Today’s Gospel reading is where Shakespeare got the title of one of his lesser known plays.  (It’s still a great play though.)  I will only post the last two verses of today’s Gospel:

 

“Stop judging and you will not be judged.

Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.

Forgive and you will be forgiven.

Give, and gifts will be given to you;

a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,

will be poured into your lap.

For the measure with which you measure

will in return be measured out to you.”

-Lk 6:37-38

 

How many of us can really not judge others?  It is hard.  I try not to.  You can listen to the entire reading in this very well done reenactment.
