REFLECTIONS
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 expression.
He uses images as he teaches. He addresses all of us.
Jesus sees a plumb line connecting the soul with the soul's
expression-words and actions. He uses exaggeration 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 consumption; solid old
goodness and solid old badness will show eventually. The old
Latin 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.

REFLEJOS LOS ESPECTÁCULOS INTERIORES
En este tercer Domingo de lecturas del Sermón del Llano,
Jesús habla del alma interior y sus expresiones exteriores. Usa
imágenes para enseñar. Nos habla a todos nosotros.
Jesús ve un cable que conecta el alma con las expresiones
del alma, palabras y hechos. Usa un poco de exageración para
recalcar el punto. Nos urge a limpiar toda la basura que nos
hace ciegos. Sabe que tenemos una tremenda habilidad para
cegarnos ante nuestras propias debilidades, aunque sean tan
grandes como una viga. Sabe, también, lo dispuestos que esta-
mos a sacar a relucir los fallos de los demás por minúsculos que
sean.
Y también esto es para el consumo general nuestro; lo bue-
no sólido y lo malo sólido eventualmente saldrá a relucir. Hay
un dicho en latín que hace eco de las imágenes de Jesús, y es
muy cierto: “Lo que se engendra en el hueso se mostrará en la
carne”. Al fin y al cabo, lo interior saldrá afuera.
