Today we celebrate the 5th Sunday of Lent. The Lenten season is coming to an end. The next Sunday – the Palm Sunday will start the Holy Week which is the part of the feast of Easter.
Today we cover the crosses in the church to take it out of our eyes and to find it in our hearts. To open our spiritual eyes on Jesus Passion in our sinful perspective, as we will see in the Gospel, the judgement of Jesus over the woman who was catch on adultery.
The Eucharist is the same meeting with Jesus as the sinful woman took place 2000 years ago. We are in position of that woman, we are the sinners, and we are release of the sins after that meeting. But we have to recognize our sins and accept that according to the law we will be death.

One Main Point
The scribes and Pharisees are not interested primarily in the Law of Moses, or the woman’s fate, but rather in trapping Jesus. Again, Jesus is precisely the “more powerful one” as predicted by John the Baptizer (Lk 3:16).
Reflection
- Who is on trial here?
- Recall a time when I found myself too ready to condemn someone. Did I draw a distinction between “the sin” and “the “sinner?”
