As the saying goes, "Nobody likes a tattletale." True, but I always enjoyed being a tattletile. Whether repofting my brothers' incessant teasing or a classmate's misbehavior, I liked feeling "morally superior"to others. Ifelt proud to serve as the police officer for good behavior in my world Perhaps y-ou'v_e even enjoyed-that somewhat smug feeling. known
-and
Joshua in today's first reading and John in today's Gospeldo a bit of tattling as they complain to their leaders about people who appear to be outsiders acting in God's name. Their complaints are dismissed because Moses and Jesus affirm
that God knows no human boundaries, and these "outsiders" are doing the Lord's work. Not only are the tattlers' complaints rejected, but Jesus issues a challenge to turn the eyes of judgment inward. His images of cutting off limbs and plucking out eyes are dramatic, but his point is simple: Remove from yourself anything that causes you or others to srn. Stop worrying about others' behavior and focus on purging yaurself of sinful thoughts and actions. Seeing others'faults comes easily-it's more difficult to be the police officer of our own behaviors. Yet we're called to be vigilant about removing elements that lead to sin. Perhaps we need to stop associating with people who gossip. Maybe we need to stop consuming alcohol because we're disrespectful or engage in risky behavior after a few drinks. Perhaps we need to stop nursing grudges and forgive someone who begs mercy fron us. Can we look at ourselves with the observant eye of the to help us eliminate what leads us to sin?

lWhen Catholics who were married outside the Church want to have that marriage blessed by the Church, the blessing is performed in a ceremony called conualidation. But don't get the wrong idea-this isn't a way around the rules. A convalidated marriage is sacramental, so your sister must meet the requirements all Catholics have to meet before marrying in the Church: They must be baptized, they can't be too closely related to each other, they need permission from their pastor, they must be legally free to marry, and they must be free to marry in the Church. That last requirement means that ifyour sister was sacramentally married to her first husband and he's alive, she needs an annulment before her new
