There is a routine that we go through when we wake up in the morning.
We would probably go to the toilet, wash our face and brush our teeth, although not necessarily in that order.
And of course, we would look at our face in the mirror, or at least glance at it.
If we have the time, it might be good to pause for a while and take a good look at ourselves in the mirror and think for a while.
And maybe to ask ourselves a couple of questions like "Who is this person going to be for today?" or "Will this person be a good person today?"
Jesus gave us a point for reflection in the gospel with just two words: Watch yourselves!
It may sound like a warning for us to watch ourselves and not to do anything wrong or to be an obstacle for others.
But it can also be a reminder for us to be the person that God has created us to be.
We are created and called to be loving and forgiving, to be kind and gentle, to be patient and understanding.
The 1st reading tells us that to be virtuous, to be honest, to have simplicity of heart are expressions of a person who lives wisely and follow the ways of God.
May the person we see in the mirror be that person that God has created and a reflection of who God is.
