Let the first among you without sin cast the first stone. Thank you Lord, for that is so encouraging!
Our gospel today is a reminder that we are all sinners and that no sin is too big for God to forgive. What a message of hope. The Lord’s mercy is upon all who ask! Jesus is always calling all of us to a higher level of conversion, forgiving our every failure and asking us to begin anew.
We are not defined by our sin, but by how well we receive and accept our Lord’s grace to keep striving for spiritual perfection. Yes, sometimes our humanness slows us down, but every time we go to the Lord and seek his forgiveness, we are strengthened with renewed grace.
So pick up your cross, embrace it, and ask the Lord to help you carry it! I promise you will not be disappointed. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your soul –then you will find peace to continue the journey of living and loving all of God’s creation.
