Pastoral Plan and Activities

The Fifth Sunday of Lent

Please read today’s Gospel John 8:1-11

The Gospel describes a woman caught in the serious sin of adultery. The Pharisees brought her to Jesus in a attempt to trap him into breaking the Law by forgiving her, or by condemning her and so loosing his reputation of being forgiving and kind

Dialogue: We see what appear to be sinful actions in the others, are we sometimes like the Pharisees too ready to condemn. Do we sometimes argue with others before we try to understand what, and why they act or think in the way they do? How can we stop calling people bad names?

Activity: There are two week remaining in Lent. What are some things that your family can do to help the poor. Perhaps, decide on something to give to the food bank or St. Vincent de Paul, give up something and put the savings in the Rice Bowl, give a donation to the Catholic Relief Services Collection that will help the Ukrainian refugees, pray special prayers that world leaders respect each other and promote peace in the world, help a poor person without passing judgement.
