I can just picture the crowd gathered around Jesus as he is speaking the Gospel. woe to you Pharisees!... After a couple of minutes, one of them thinks hey, wait a minute, he is talking about me (you can almost see the lightbulb above his head going off as he realizes this) He speaks up, expecting Jesus to apologize, Jesus doesnt miss a beat, he makes it clear that he is also talking about him. We need to realize that we are ALL sinners in need of a savior (of which, I am foremost) If we fail to reach out, to lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ, we are weighing them down. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11:42-46. The Lord said: Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others. Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces. Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk. Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too. And he said, Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.
