Welcome back to Catholic Girl on the Radio! I'm your host, Rita, and in today’s powerful episode, we dive deep into Matthew 7:1–5, where Jesus teaches us about judgment, hypocrisy, and the path to true holiness.

🔍 We explore:

• What it really means when Jesus says “Do not judge”

• The difference between righteous correction and rash condemnation

• Why personal transformation must come before trying to help others

• What the Early Church Fathers like St. Augustine, St. Jerome, St. John Chrysostom, St. Bernard, and others have to say about judging, mercy, and humility

💬 Featuring commentary from Cornelius a Lapide and vivid stories from the saints, we’ll uncover how to:

• Examine our own sins before pointing out the faults in others

• Avoid the spiritual danger of rash judgments

• Love others enough to correct with compassion, not criticism

🙏 We also talk about:

• The deeper meaning of “not giving what is holy to dogs” or “pearls before swine”

• The power of prayer, persistence, and trusting in God’s timing

• How God's mercy exceeds even the best intentions of earthly parents

✨ Whether you’re struggling with forgiveness, criticism, or self-righteousness, this episode is for you. We’re learning how to be transformed by grace and grow in true Christian charity.
