EL EVANGELIO DE HOY
John 8:1-11
Jesús fue al monte de los Olivos. Al amanecer
volvió al Templo, y todo el pueblo acudía a él.
Entonces se sentó y comenzó a enseñarles.
Los escribas y los fariseos le trajeron a una
mujer que había sido sorprendida en
adulterio y, poniéndola en medio de todos,
dijeron a Jesús: "Maestro, esta mujer ha sido
sorprendida en flagrante adulterio. Moisés,
en la Ley, nos ordenó apedrear a esta clase de
mujeres. Y tú, ¿qué dices?". Decían esto para
ponerlo a prueba, a fin de poder acusarlo.
Pero Jesús, inclinándose, comenzó a escribir
en el suelo con el dedo. Como insistían, se
enderezó y les dijo: "El que no tenga pecado,
que arroje la primera piedra".

forgive and to restore the sinner to health. His
challenge involved a choice-- either go back to your
former way of sin and death or to reach out to the new
way of life and happiness with him. Jesus gave her
pardon and a new start on life. God's grace enables us
to confront our sin for what it is -- unfaithfulness to
God, and to turn back to God with a repentant heart
and a thankful spirit for God's mercy and forgiveness.
For Reflection: Do you know the joy of repentance
and a clean conscience?

“Jesus is waiting for you, He is close to you, He loves
you, He is merciful, He forgives you, and He gives
you the strength to start from scratch.”
-Pope Francis
LENTEN PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, during these days of Lent, I want to
fast, to repent and to pray. Above all else I want to
stay in the circle of Your love. Walk with me and
surround me with Your light; lead me and guide me in
Your footsteps. Help me to follow You and imitate
Your love. May this cross remind me today and
throughout Lent of Your great love for me. Amen.
