Brothers' Bread Episode 31: Christ's Mercy

<p>“Jesus calls us to the same kind of repentance and to set our desires on living for Him. ” - Br. Mike Valenzuela FSC</p> <p><strong>Fifth Sunday of Lent<br> Reading from John 8:1-11</strong></p> <p>Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.<br> But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area,<br> and all the people started coming to him,<br> and he sat down and taught them.<br> Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman<br> who had been caught in adultery<br> and made her stand in the middle.<br> They said to him,<br> “Teacher, this woman was caught<br> in the very act of committing adultery.<br> Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women.<br> So what do you say?”<br> They said this to test him,<br> so that they could have some charge to bring against him.<br> Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.<br> But when they continued asking him,<br> he straightened up and said to them,<br> “Let the one among you who is without sin<br> be the first to throw a stone at her.”<br> Again he bent down and wrote on the ground.<br> And in response, they went away one by one,<br> beginning with the elders.<br> So he was left alone with the woman before him.<br> Then Jesus straightened up and said to her,<br> “Woman, where are they?<br> Has no one condemned you?”<br> She replied, “No one, sir.”<br> Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you.<br> Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/yesbro">#YesBro</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/brothersbread">#BrothersBread</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/delasalleph">#DeLaSallePH</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dlsbrothersph">#DLSBrothersPH</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/fscvocations">#FSCvocations</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sundayreflections">#SundayReflections</a></p>
