“Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle…They said ‘Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women.’…Jesus said ‘Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.” John 8:3,5,7. Pope Francis said, “We are all sinners. But may the Lord not let us be hypocrites. Hypocrites don’t know the meaning of forgiveness, joy and the love of God.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, forgive us when we want others to be made to stand in the middle, to be condemned by fellow sinners.  Help us instead to lift each other up, to see the good in one another, to be merciful as You are. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
