John 8: 1-11

1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?" 6This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." 8And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 9But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again."

What touched my Soul

“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.“

We seam to be very good throwing stones and pointing fingers to our brothers and sisters. Finding their issues and faults.

On the other hand we tend not to see ours, and always finding a ways to excuse our faults.

What a beautiful way Jesus found to show that we should forgive our borther and sisters.

”Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.“

Who never sinned that throw the first stone...

Let's ask our Lord Jesus Christ to help us through this Lent to be more forgiving, not judgemental to our brothers and sisters. To repent our faults and help our brothers to approach the reconciliation sacrament.
