la voz del pastor

LA VOZ DEL PASTOR
On this last Sunday of Lent, we hear two stories of God’s love and mercy.
- Prophet Isaiah proclaimed that God ‘opens a way in the sea and a path in
the mighty waters’ to save Israelites from powerful Egyptian army.
- Apostle John recalled that Jesus opens a way of forgiveness for the woman accused of
adultery. Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and from now on do not sin
any more.” (John 8:11)
As we contemplate the mercy of God made present in today’s readings, let us keep in
mind that God never tires of forgiving us.
Question to ponder. If God offered pardon unconditionally to us, to whom can we offer
this unconditional pardon?
Fr. Hai
En este último domingo de Cuaresma, escuchamos dos historias de amor y misericordia de
Dios.
- El Profeta Isaias proclamó que Dios abre un camino en el mar y una senda en las
aguas impetuosas para salvar a los israelitas del gran alcance del ejército egipcio.
- El Apóstol San Juan recordó que Jesús abre un camino de perdón para la mujer
acusada de adulterio. Entonces dijo Jesús: "Tampoco yo te condeno. Vete y de ahora en
adelante no peques más. "(Juan 8:11)
Al contemplar la misericordia de Dios que se hace presente en las lecturas de hoy,
vamos a tener en cuenta que Dios no se cansa de perdonarnos.
Pregunta para que reflexionemos: Si Dios nos ofreció el perdón incondicional a
nosotros, a quien podemos nosotros ofrecer este perdón incondicional?
Pd. Hai
