Sunday 7 April

Fifth Sunday of Lent

Isaiah 43:16 -21; Psalm 126; Philippians 3:8-14, John 8:1-11

Woman, where are they?

When we allow ourselves to be influenced by Jesus, we enter a more loving world which is free from condemnation. You see, it ceases to be about us, and is more about others, and the sheer joy of discovering God’s action around us. Jesus reminds us that sometimes we are sinned against when others condemn us. The impact on someone of having a positive regard for them is so significant that they too begin to let go of ‘stone throwing’. We learn from the ones we love. Pray a decade of the rosary and know that you are being exposed to a mystery in the life of Jesus, freeing you from self-absorption.
