Like take a variety of masks. Sometimes you can adjust as appropriate for your occasion to be able to significantly improve the living conditions in the environment. Do not kid yourself - it's nice to pretend gives attention than it is to impress your colleagues. Preferably rip a person smarter and more diligent before the faculty than is the reality. Even before the priests in the parish may be intentionally behave devoutly to be seen as a better Christian. And honesty? The confession of feelings, express their emotions - even those positive? Maybe it's better not to do, maybe better to turn everything into a joke ... Make a good face on the bad games and approaches to life from a distance ... if it is not convenient?
Sure, it does not happen that I get up in the morning and prepare myself in advance of the mask needed for another day. They can appear to me somewhat automatically. As if this were not enough, not only deceiving others, but can also handle himself! The temptation of being able to really mess up an ideal in human life. Being the best, most handsome, smartest ... What is wrong, you better hide as deep as possible. So, to make it invisible.
When I look at the Cross of Christ and the mind's eye I see the moment of exposure of the robes of Jesus knocks me humility. King of Kings and Lord of Lords can be peeled off from his clothing. His body - the whole tortured, marked with wounds, broczące blood. Definitely boring view, but Christ can remove from their hair. Allows you to see his wounds, it covers the dust and dirt. Who of us would like to be in the state watched by a crowd of people? God is in agreement, although at one's beck and call there may be legions of angels przepędzających soldiers and Jews, rich in Appendix beautiful garments that could clothe the Messiah. However, this is not happening.
Jesus Christ does not block his human weaknesses. not cover what is ugly. Does not impose a mask, it allows for it to put on a crown of thorns. Suffers a total bare, although it is a righteous man, though there was no guilt in him.
me alone - as opposed to the Son of God - many sins burden, many want to hide the weaknesses - the neighbor, in front of you before God (even if it's impossible).
Jesus Lord, teach me the humility to stand in the truth about himself. Especially on the occasion of the sacrament of penance. Amen.

Today, I feel that I lack strength ... Sometimes even this is so difficult to admit!
