READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 7, 2019
5th Sunday of Lent
"The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught
in adultery and made her stand in the middle." The episode of the woman
caught in adultery is a powerful story. We have perhaps all felt as the
woman has at some point in our lives, surrounded by those who would
condemn us. The beauty of Christ's mercy at the end is clear ? and a
welcome relief as we all struggle to be good and holy people. But have we
ever imagined ourselves on the edge of the circle? Have we pictured
ourselves in the sea of dusty robes? Perhaps, we hope, we're hovering at
the edge of the circle of judgment. But we've all been there.
How easy it is to be righteous when someone else's reputation is at
stake. When the small child is acting up in the grocery store or on the
plane. When another company has a scandal break or a major error sets
back their profits. Could it be easy to pick up the stone and feel its weight
and heft in our hands? Because if we've got a stone in our hands, our own
righteous category is clear. Our judgment is our insurance that we won't be
on the receiving end of the criticism. If we can point out a wrong, surely
we are firmly in the right.
"'Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone
at her' ? they went away one by one." This Lent, not only are we invited to
receive God's mercy, but to show God's mercy. As the season begins to
wind to a close, consider those in your life you tend to judge the most
harshly. What is one concrete way you can drop your stone?
STATIONS OF THE CROSS will be held at Holy
Spirit at 12:10 P.M. Friday afternoons and at Holy
Trinity on Friday evenings during Lent at 5:30 P.M.
in the Church. A lite soup supper and a movie will
follow stations each week at Holy Trinity.
