First Reading — One’s speech shows the bent of one’s mind. Praise no one before he or she speaks (Sirach 27:4‐7). Psalm — Lord, it is good to give thanks to you (Psalm 92). Second Reading — We are given victory over death through Jesus. In the Lord our labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:54‐59). Gospel — A good person produces good, an evil person produces evil. The mouth speaks from the goodness of the heart (Luke 6:39‐45).

THE INSIDE SHOWS

In this third Sunday of our reading from the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus speaks of the inner soul and its outer ex‐pression. He uses images as he teaches. He addresses all of us. Jesus sees a plumb line connec ng the soul with the soul's expression‐words and ac ons. He uses exaggera on to drive home his point. We are urged to clear out the debris that blinds us. He knows that we have an uncanny ability to be blind to our own weaknesses, though they be as big as a board. He knows, too, how willingly we seem to ferret out others' smallest speck‐like flaws. And this, too, is for our general consump on; solid old goodness and solid old badness will show eventually. The old La n saying, which echoes Jesus’ images, is true: “What is bred in the bone will out in the flesh.” By and by, the inside will show through.
