They brought the woman to Jesus looking for punishment. But Jesus responds with compassion and mercy. Tradition tells us that Jesus traced in the sand with his finger the sins of each one of them. What they would not admit to others Jesus showed them as known to God. He tells them, If there is one among them who has not sinned; let him be the first to cast a stone at her.” The Pharisees and scribes drift away [John. 8: 1 – 11]. In this story there is delicate balance between the justice of Jesus in not condoning the sin and his mercy in forgiving the sinner. The woman is bound by her past, guilty of sin, and condemned to death by her community for breaking the 6th Commandment “you shall not commit adultery.” Jesus lifts the burden of sin from her and tells her to begin her life anew. Here is the unique element: the woman never asks for forgiveness from Jesus. She simply stands before him silent. This is her plea for forgiveness---she offers no excuses or explanations for what she did, her silence is her act of contrition, Jesus in not interested in her guilt. He is only interested in forgiving her sin and setting her free. When we are guilty of sin, God looks for conversion, a change of heart; not excuses nor explanations. God wants us to repent because we trust in the gracious gift of mercy, not from fear of some future punishment. God looks to the future and asks us to do the same. Sins of the past should not weigh us down; as they have been forgiven, but also forgotten by God. In Psalm 51, we pray: “Have mercy on me, God in your goodness; in abundant compassion blot out my offense. Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me.” As we enter the final two weeks of Lent, I encourage you to take advantage of the Sacrament of Penance in preparation for the renewal of your Baptismal Promises on Easter. In this Sacrament we are offered God’s compassion, mercy and forgiveness without any condemnation, just as surely as the woman in today’s gospel. Fr. Bill En el Evangelio tenemos un encuentro entre Jesús, los fariseos y los maestros de la ley, y una mujer pecadora a quien ellos condenaron a la muerte. Ellos se la trajeron a Jesús buscando un castigo. Pero, Jesús les responde con compasión y misericordia. La tradición nos dice que Jesús trazó en la arena con su dedo los pecados de cada uno de ellos. Lo que ellos no se lo admitían a otros, Jesús se les demostró que Dios conoce todo. Él les dice, “Aquel de ustedes que no tenga pecado, que le tire la primera piedra”. Los fariseos y los escribas comenzaron a irse [Juan 8: 1 – 11]. En esta parábola hay un delicado equilibrio entre la Justicia de Jesús en no condonar el pecado y en Su misericordia en perdonar el pecador. La mujer está obligada por su pasado, culpable de pecado, y condenada por su comunidad, a la pena de muerte, por haber violado el sexto mandamiento, “no cometerás adulterio”. Jesús levanta la carga del pecado de ella y le dice a ella que empiece su vida de nuevo. Aquí está el elemento único: la mujer jamás pidió perdón de Jesús. Ella simplemente esta parada delante de Jesús en silencio. Esto es su suplica por el perdón—ella no ofrece ningún pretexto o explicación por lo que ella hizo, su silencio fue su acta de contrición, Jesús no está interesado en su culpabilidad. Él sólo se interesa en perdonarle su pecado y librarla. Cuando somos culpables del pecado, Dios busca la conversión, un cambio de corazón, no pretextos o explicaciones. Dios desea nuestro arrepentimiento porque nosotros confiamos en la gracia de la misericordia, no del temor de algún castigo futuro. Dios mira hacia el futuro y nos pide que hagamos lo mismo. Los pecados del pasado no deben sobrecargarnos; ya que han sido perdonados, pero también han sido olvidados por Dios. En el salmo 51 rezamos, “Por Tu amor, oh Dios, ten compasión de mí; por Tu gran ternura, borra mis culpas. Lávame de mi maldad; límpiame de mi pecado.” Al entrar a las últimas dos semanas de Cuaresma, les animo que disfruten del Sacramento de la Penitencia en preparación de nuestra renovación de las Promesas Bautismales en la Pascua. En este Sacramento se nos ofrece la compasión, misericordia y perdón de Dios sin ninguna condenación, ciertamente como la mujer en el Evangelio de hoy.
