Stewardship Reflections
Once again this week, we are reminded of what a loving and merciful God we serve. The theme of the readings
for this fifth Sunday of Lent are summed up beautifully in today’s Gospel passage from Luke, which recounts the
story of the woman caught in adultery. After all those who would have stoned this woman leave the scene,
Christ says to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”
When we turn to God for forgiveness, He is indeed gracious and merciful. So much so, that not only will He for-
give our sins without condemnation, He will make us completely new creations in Christ.
What is more amazing is that this all-perfect and holy God of ours draws so very near to us. Our sins do not
drive Him from us, but rather to us so that He can set us free from them. Look carefully at Christ’s actions and
posture in the Gospel reading as He deals with both the crowd of people, the Scribes and Pharisees, and the adul-
terous woman. “All the people started coming to Him and he sat down and taught them.” “He bent down and
began to write with His finger.”
He “straightened up” when He confronted the Scribes and Pharisees about their own sins. And he “straightened
up” when He assured the woman that He did not condemn her for her past. Like a skilled teacher, or loving “big
brother,” Christ bends down to where we are, He sits among us, He stands to confront us when needed and He
stands to look us in the eye to remind us of our true dignity.
Second Collection, April 2-3, 2022
For Anointing Fire Sisters of Jesus and Mary (ASJM)
The ASJM sisters of India requests our prayers and financial support for the construction
of a convent and a center for the evangelization of youth. ASJM is a newly founded reli-
gious community, and they deserve our wholehearted support. Kindly be generous in
contributing to this second collection. You can find envelopes for this collection on the
stone tables in the vestibule.
The vision of ASJM congregation is to be a visible presence of the Holy Spirit in the world
through contemplative prayer, radical renunciation, and self-emptying love. Their mission
is the renewal of the Church through the proclamation of the Word of God and the con-
stant intercessory prayers with penance and mortification for the whole world, especially for the pope, bishops,
priests, and religious. Their ministries include retreat and counseling services for families and especially for the
youth. For more information, kindly visit https:// www.abhishekagnisisters.org/
